I love a good chicken salad (no lie, while I was typing chicken salad, I typed chocolate…chocolate is always on the brain), especially tossed right on top of a bed of lettuce. You don’t even need dressing!
This peanut-y, Asian flare makes for a scrumptious salad, calling me to pile on the veggies!
Woot!

YUM! I love me a good chicken salad too and this one looks incredible!
Haha, I can relate to the chocolate issue! I’m terribly lazy about making salads at home, but this one sounds awesome. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the combo of Asian flavors mixed with the chicken 🙂
Oh, I want this for lunch! Alongside a piece of chocolate! 🙂
Wish I was having this, then a giant chocoalte chip cookies for lunch today!
Ooooh – you said the magic “Thai peanut” words. 😉 This looks absolutely delicious!
