The Asian spin on the classic chicken salad really makes this different and special. We have a several Asian spices and sauces in our cabinets because The Other Williams loves cooking with these flavors. I highly recommend spending a couple hours just walking through your local Asian food store. And yes, you have one, google it! Its so intriguing to see all the different things they have!
Not in an Asian mood, no problem, just do a classic chicken salad. The Other Williams has a killer recipe for that also >Click here<.
Tips: We couldn't find Bibb and didn't want to do iceburg so we got butter lettuce and it was delicious! We also added tomatoes to the recipe so play with it and throw in what you've got.
This would make an excellent picnic meal!!
