Salads are the low-calorie, light and feel-good meal we reach for on hot and humid days, but none can beat this fresh and tasty Asian salad. Inspired by Southeast Asian dishes, it features slices of chicken breast fillet, Pak Choi or Chinese White Cabbage, bee hoon or rice vermicelli noodles, and they’re all drenched in a sweet chilli dressing for an irresistible, zesty and appetising flavour. Don’t forget the peanuts, too, which add another dimension of crunch and nuttiness to this refreshing salad.
