Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

4 cups mixed greens (e.g., romaine, spinach, arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup crispy fried shallots (for topping)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for heat preference)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and avocado. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

    Make the Bang Bang sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning as desired, adding more sriracha for extra heat if preferred.

      Add the chicken: Fold the shredded chicken into the salad mixture and drizzle with half of the Bang Bang sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the chicken is coated in the sauce.

        Serve: Plate the salad into individual serving bowls or a large serving platter. Drizzle the remaining Bang Bang sauce over the top and garnish with the crispy fried shallots and chopped cilantro.

          Enjoy your Bang Bang Chicken Salad! You can serve it immediately, or let it chill for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
