Wash and prep all fresh vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce, shred the red cabbage, julienne the carrots, and slice the cucumber and avocado.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside all prepped vegetables.
Grill chicken breasts on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Set aside to rest before slicing into strips.
Hard-boil the eggs by placing them into a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes. Cool the eggs in ice water, peel, and quarter them.
Prepare the peanut dressing by whisking together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
Assemble the salad by layering lettuce as the base, followed by neat rows of red cabbage, carrots, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, grilled chicken slices, hard-boiled eggs, and avocado slices.
Drizzle the peanut dressing over the salad or serve it on the side.
Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, fresh cilantro, and mint before serving.
