01 - Combine half of the diced mango, cooled brewed green tea, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

04 - While chicken cooks, arrange salad greens, cucumber, carrot, red onion, avocado, and remaining mango on a large platter or individual serving plates.
05 - Whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
06 - Drizzle dressing over salad. Top with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
07 - Serve immediately, garnished with extra diced mango if desired.
