Vietnamese Inspired Chicken Salad
March 26, 2013
Toss everything in a bowl and mix. I used pistachio instead of peanuts just because I had them around, and I tossed in some dried mango using the logic that people like raisins in chicken salad and this would be a southeast Asian equivalent. Right? Do people like raisins in chicken salad?
Super delicious stuff. And the yogurt instead of mayo makes it much more healthy.
This really satisfied the cravings that night.
