Thai Chicken Salad
Colorful and versatile salads combining meat, herbs, and chiles are a staple in Thai cuisine. This one omits chiles, but is tossed with a flavorful dressing and crunchy, puffy deep-fried rice sticks for added texture. Serve as a light lunch or as a first course to an Asian dinner. For a spicier salad, add minced jalapeño pepper. Deep-fried rice sticks are fun to make and can be used as a noodle "nest" to display the chicken
