Sometimes I crave for a salad that is satisfying and filling but without having lettuce or any leafy greens. Something that has full of flavors and still consistent enough so that I don’t feel like I’m on a diet. This Asian (Thai / Vietnamese) inspired salad recipe is easy to make with a bit of prep and will sure satisfy all your taste buds!
Have you ever bought Chinese roasted duck? Well if you have left overs just chop it up and use it instead of the beef. The flavors of the roasted duck with the tangy dressing and herbs is so delicious, my mouth is watering just think about it.
