10 January, 2019 by Juliet Keys 1 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/fresh-vietnamese-chicken-salad/

Vietnamese cuisine is renowned for its use of fresh ingredients, a combination of herbs and vegetables and a pleasantly colourful dishes. Australian expat Katie Mortlock has shared her Vietnamese chicken salad recipe, which is a recreation of a favourite cafe meal. “Back when I was a uni student, I used to visit a Vietnamese café that made an amazing chicken salad. I scoured recipe books and played with the ingredients until I managed to re-create it. It’s been a favourite recipe of mine for over 20 years now. I love the combination of the sweet and sour dressing, the fresh ingredients and the kick of chilli – it’s a perfect meal for hot weather.”
