INGREDIENTS

For the Vietnamese Salad Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon Fish Sauce Vietnamese Brand
  • 2 tablespoon Sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder or 2 cloves of Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon Coconut Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • Fresh Lemon Juice juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and White Pepper (to taste)

For the Salad

  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken Shredded
  • 1 large Carrot chopped into matchsticks
  • 1 medium sized Yellow Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 cups Butter Lettuce or Romaine Lettuce or Cabbage (torn)
  • Fresh Mint Leaves a generous handful
  • ¼ cup Toasted Peanuts roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place raw peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toss frequently for 3–4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove immediately and let cool. Roughly chop once cooled.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Whisk until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Taste and adjust, it should be punchy, a little sweet, salty, and spicy. Trust your palate.
  • Peel and julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks. Thinly slice the yellow bell pepper. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Pick the mint leaves from their stems
  • Using two forks (or your hands), shred the rotisserie chicken into thin strips. A mix of white and dark meat works best.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, carrots, bell pepper, chicken, and mint. Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing as needed. (you want everything coated but not swimming).
  • Transfer to a serving plate or bowl. Scatter the toasted peanuts generously over the top. Add a few extra mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately.
