Our favorite part of this Chicken Salad with Vietnamese Dressing is actually the dressing. It is spicy, fresh and fragrant. Basil and mint are the top notes for the garlic and umami base. We suggest making a batch of this dressing and keeping it around to vitalize any summery salad you think needs it. Use your Thermomix Shredded Chicken recipe to add some protein and some leafy greens – we love spinach for both iron and texture. Carrot and peanuts add some extra crunch for a quintessential Summer salad.
