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!
