This salad is great on its own or when paired with spicy meat. It’s the perfect complement to Lemongrass Chicken Lettuce Wraps
If you’re not the type to find julienne-ing veggies while listening to some chill tunes to be relaxing – even meditative – I recommend using a mandolin slicer.
Cutting up the veggies may seem like a chore, but know that you can make quick work of this salad with a proper mandolin slicer. Having a mandolin on hand makes the work a breeze. [We’ve tried more expensive mandolins but this one really is the best. If you use it a lot you might have to replace it as the blade will get dull. Laura’s most recent one lasted for about 2 years.]
Super flavorful chicken, marinaded in a lemon grass and ginger marinade overnight.
