Crunchy Chicken Salad




Hey readers!

I skipped an entire season! but my spring has been so crazy full!

Here is a great salad for summer time that I had been wanting to do for about a year, and finally got round to doing it on tuesday for my Bible Study! 

The original recipe comes from A cup of Jo, thank you Joanna! I love your blog! My Bible study really loved this salad, and so did I!

Here are the ingredients:

-1/4 shredded cabagge.
-1/4 red cabbage.
-5 carrots sliced.
-1 cup of mint leaves.
-1 cup of cilantro leaves.
-500 grs of chicken in stripes.
-1 cup of cashew nuts.

For the salad dressing:
-1 can of coconut milk.
-1 lemon or lime.
-2 teaspoons of sugar.
-2 teaspoons of fish sauce.

Steps:

1. Just chop up the cabbage, slice the carrots and break in smaller pieces the mint and cilantro  ingredients and then add everything into a bowl.
2. Cut the chicken in stripes and saute it.
3. Do the dressing and add to the salad.

Honestly this is one great recipe. 

I understand it is a bit annoying to have to buy mint and cilantro (here they are 1 euro each bunch), but it is a great recipe so colourful and with so many flavours and textures: crunchy, soft, coconuty, acid, fishy, it really has everything and you can also add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the dressing to give it a spicy kick! 

Don't you love summer???? I sure do!
