I don’t know about you, but I always like other peoples salads more than mine. I’ve made every kind of green leaf vinaigrette under the sun and was looking for a way out of my salad rut. And then I found this— Chopped Thai Chicken Salad. It was easy, healthy, crunchy, and delicious. It is everything you’d want in a dinner salad. And tastes better than any I’ve ordered. Now I can’t stop making it and my family loves it too.
