About This Recipe:
A lot of Thai food can be quite heavy and decadent, but this larb chicken salad is super light and refreshing. This is definitely not the most authentic recipe for Larb Gai because I could not find lemongrass, fresh red chilis, etc., but it’s close enough! You can serve this as an appetizer, or as a healthy meal with a side of jasmine rice. I prefer this dish at room temperature, but you can also have it chilled or slightly warm if you don’t want to wait for it to fully cool. Perfect for a quick weekday summer lunch!
Enjoy!
