For The Salad
1/2 small green cabbage, shredded

2/4 cup shredded Brussels sprouts
2 green onions, chop white part and add to salad – cut up green part for garnishing
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/8 cup toasted quinoa
Add prepared vegetable greens to a salad bowl. Start with one cup of vinaigrette and mix into salad.
Add more vinaigrette 1/4 cup at a time (mixing in after each addition) until you have the consistency of dressing to salad that you desire.
For The Dressing
1 large ripe mango peeled, pitted and roughly chopped (can also chop 1 1/4 cup of frozen mango)
1/4 cup lime juice, 2 medium size limes
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons raw honey
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped, Thai chili pepper, can also use jalapeño or serrano
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine mango, lime juice, orange juice, honey, cumin, garlic and salt in a blender container. Puree on medium speed until smooth. Transfer to a medium size jar.
Add oil to the mixture in the jar in a slow, steady stream while stirring continuously with a fork or small whisk.
Add finely chopped chili pepper, cilantro and black pepper. Taste and add a bit more salt, if needed.
Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
For The Meat
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
Combined soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger in a zip lock bag. Add chicken thighs to bag. Zip lock the bag and shake well until meat is coated. Marinate no longer than 30 minutes.
Next, warm a skillet over medium high heat. Add one tablespoon of toasted sesame seed oil. When heated add chicken thighs and cook 4-5 minutes each side or until juices from meat run clear (no red in juice).
Remove from heat and let meat rest for 5 minutes.
