Posted 2014-12-01 by finy ⇒ follow

There are many different versions of Thai Chicken Salad, and this one is my favourite.

It has little fat in it and tastes superb.

I have served it here with my [link http://recipeyum.com.au/potato-salad-with-bacon-and-eggs/ potato salad]

It is an easy recipe and the peanuts give it that finishing touch.
