Creating Honey Hot Chicken Salad is a simple process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook the chicken. You can grill, bake, or sauté it until fully cooked, then shred or dice it.
2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Combine the Salad: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded carrots.
4. Add the Chicken: Gently fold in the cooked chicken until evenly distributed throughout the salad.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the honey hot dressing over the salad. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated.
6. Taste and Adjust: Sample the salad and adjust seasoning or add more hot sauce if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to serving plates or bowls. Top with optional feta cheese, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.
