Tasty Asian chicken noodle salad
Salad it seems, sometimes gets a bad rep. We get caught in the trap of imagining a sad cherry tomato sitting atop a few wilted lettuce leaves, unappetising and unappealing.
That example however, couldn’t be further from the super delicious reality of this Tasty Asian Chicken Noodle Salad which proves that salad doesn’t have to be boring.
A fresh and healthy addition to your summer menu, this nutrient-dense salad is packed with warm chicken, rice noodles, lettuce and snowpeas, making it filling as well as delicious.
It’s ideal as a light dinner or yummy lunch, especially if you are taking part in the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to swap the mixed lettuce leaves for baby spinach, swap the veggies for whatever you have in the crisper or try experimenting with noodle varieties. Rice, buckwheat and even zucchini noodles would all work well.
