Prepare and assemble all of your ingredients in a large salad bowl, except the salad dressing: lettuce, chicken, cucumbers, carrots, asparagus, optional red cabbage, green onions' greens, fresh cilantro and fresh ginger root.
Make Asian Dressing: Add all ingredients to mixing jar. (I like to use an up-cycled jam jar or 2-cup mason jar, which also stores any leftover dressing, or a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup, which helps with first measuring the oil.) Use handheld blender or frother, and blend to mix the ingredients well. (Or place all ingredients in small blender or small food processor, to mix well.) If you're not using an electric blender of some kind, whisk together dried ginger and salt before combining the wet and dry ingredients. Add nut butter and maple syrup. Whisk well to thoroughly combine. Add all remaining ingredients. Whisk well.
If you're ready to serve, add Asian Dressing to your salad ingredients, and toss well to coat. You'll use most or all of the dressing. (If you prefer your salad lightly dressed, use less, and provide the extra at the table for those who'd like more.)
Serve, and enjoy!
