A satisfying salad made with teriyaki chicken, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado, boiled egg, and cherry tomatoes. The sweet-savory depth of teriyaki pairs naturally with a simple drizzle of mayonnaise, bringing everything together without the need for a separate dressing.

With minimal prep — mostly slicing and arranging — this comes together quickly and makes a visually appealing plate. Colorful enough for everyday meals, yet presentable for home gatherings as well.

A great way to make the most of teriyaki chicken while adding variety to the table.
