Directions
Quick ‘n Easy Vietnamese Chicken Salad, This light and refreshing Vietnamese Chicken Salad is really quick to make It can be eaten alone as a light meal or served as a main meal, over steamed rice Because I don’t like my food too spicy, I omit the chilli, but I’ve left it in the ingredients listed Some will no doubt want to increase the spiciness When serving it to others, I’ve doubled the recipe and made two versions: one spicy, one not And been very careful not to mix them up, by putting them in colour-coded serving bowls! Both versions have been eaten with enthusiasm, both by those who are familiar with Vietnamese cuisine and those who are not Adapted from Lulu Grimes’ book Food: buy it fresh: Cook: cook it simply; Eat: eat it now If you are serving this salad to guests, and planning ahead, it’s worth going to an Asian greengrocer’s and buying the authentic ingredients , What a wonderful refreshing salad I made as posted with the exception of cooking the bean sprouts used raw Loved the flavor with the mint I couldn’t locate Vietnamese mint (OK, I didn’t look for it) so used regular mint This was quick and easy Thanks for posting 🙂
