Vietnamese Chicken Salad

This Vietnamese Chicken Salad is one of my favourite dishes, my boys absolutely love it. It’s a healthy salad variation from Malibu Farm that’s so easy to prepare.

It has quinoa through it and peanuts over the top for some protein so it’s still satisfying. The dressing is so sweet, salty and tangy from the lime, maple syrup and fish sauce - it’s just delicious.

It’s the perfect dish for entertaining because you can prepare all the components in advance and assemble before serving.
