Vietnamese Chicken and Rice Vermicelli Salad

  • Servings: 3 or 4

This vietnamese salad is one of my preferred salads. It can be prepared with shredded cooked chicken (e.g. leftover roasted chicken) or, if you prefer, cooked prawns.

This salad will be as good if it is only done with fresh vegetables that goes into it such as carrots, mange-tout, cabbage, cucumber, spring onions… and rice vermicelli.

I love it because it has different textures and flavours. It is crunchy, tangy, sweet, savoury, fresh and, above all, delicious.

Ingredients

  • About 200g of cooked rice vermicelli, snipped into smaller length
  • About 200g of shredded cooked chicken
