This Singapore-Style Chicken Salad is packed with flavor as well as nutrition and is ideal to serve as a light dinner or lunch
I have never had Water Chestnuts before. But after tasting them in this Singapore-Style Chicken Salad it is one of our new favorite snacks and always included in this salad.
The salad is packed with so many flavors which just works great together.
I found the recipe in an old magazine. The original meat to use, is ground Chicken, which I absolutely can not stand, tried it once and never again.
No idea why, as it is just a finer form of shredded Chicken. Anyhow, if you like the ground variation, use that instead in this recipe, I’ll just stick to shredded.
The recipe yields 4 servings, adult size. But would very well be enough for 2 adults and 4 kids. Served with a dinner roll or two each, and the salad is great to serve as lunch or a light dinner.
I made a couple of changes to the recipe to suit my family’s taste better and everyone loved it, as is usual with just about any Chicken salad in our house.
However, if you can not get hold of Fresh Lemongrass, use one teaspoon dried. You can be find fried Lemongrass together with all the other dried herbs in the herb and spices aisle at most supermarkets.
All the other ingredients are everyday pantry or fresh produce items, so you should not have a problem with anything.
This particular Chicken salad is definitely worth it to make at least once. I have made the salad 3 times already in less than a month, which is very unusual for me !
The Lime or Lemon wedges are a definite must ! Maybe not for the little ones, but if you like a squeeze of bite in your salad, I highly recommend serving the salad with the wedges on the side.
