This was so refreshing and full of flavor! Loved the balance of tangy, salty, and crunchy. I added extra mint and it turned out perfect.

Super easy to prep for lunch. I used leftover rotisserie chicken and it worked great. Definitely going into my regular salad rotation.

Tastes just like the gỏi gà my grandma used to make. I served it with some prawn crackers on the side. So good!

I toned down the fish sauce a little for my kids, and they loved it! Great family-friendly recipe with loads of fresh veggies.
