1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, and ground ginger in a small bowl until emulsified. Set aside.

2. Grill the chicken breasts on a medium-high heat grill until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and allow to rest. Slice into thin strips.

3. Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce and mixed spring greens. Chop into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a large salad bowl or serving platter.

4. Top the greens with diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, cucumber slices, and green onions.

5. Sprinkle the salad with crispy wonton strips, toasted sliced almonds, and toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.

6. Arrange the sliced grilled chicken atop the salad.

7. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad or serve the dressing on the side.

8. Toss gently to combine before serving, or leave layered for a more dramatic presentation.
