Besides Indonesian and Chinese food, I also loveeee ❤️💙💚💛🧡 Thai food. This spicy sour salty salad is so refreshing and healthy. Great for starter but also good for part of larger meal! Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary if you like my recipes 🙏🏻😊

Steps

1

Heat water and salt until boiling. Poach the chicken meat until cooked. Remove from the heat. Set aside to cool.
2

Shred the chicken into thin strips.
In a big bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until well combined.
3

Add tomato, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Mix well.
4

Line a serving plater with lettuce and shredded chicken. Pour the salad mixture on top. Serve immediately.
5

Note: You can skip the birds eye chili pepper if you don’t like spicy. Refrigerate lettuce and dressing mixture before serving. Serve cold. It’s crunchier and fresher. 😋😋😋
