- Serve with:
- Make sure you squeeze the liquid out of the carrots so that you don’t get excess liquid diluting that lovely salad dressing.
- For a crunchier salad, add the Asian Salad Dressing just before serving.
- But if you prefer, add the dressing / vinaigrette a couple of hours beforehand so the flavours meld together – but the salad will lose its crunch.
- Use a mandolin to julienne your vegetables, but you can use a knife / grater if you don’t have one.
- Feel free to use leftover chicken in this rather than cooking chicken from scratch. Same with leftover rice noodles.
- You can use turkey instead of chicken if you would prefer.
- Add more chicken or veggies to your taste.
