Spicy Thai Chicken Rice Salad

Submitted by LisaCooks

"This recipe originally came from the USA Rice Council's "Rice Cafe" website. I made some slight changes. It is perfect with BBQ pork ribs or shrimp kebabs! Makes a large bowl and is even better on Day 2 or 3!"

This was great! I cut the recipe in half and the first time I ate it, I regretted not making the whole batch. I have already given out this recipe. I made recipe#325781 for the peanut sauce. The sauce has chilli oil and soy sauce in it, so I omitted those ingredients and doubled the water. I think I may have saved a few calories and cut down on the sodium.

Love Thai food and this is one we all enjoyed. With most of our meals built around chicken breasts finding a great tasting Chicken Rice Salad with the wonderful Thai combination of ingredients made my day. Other then needing to sub the cilantro -(not having cilantro I subbed with fresh parsley) made as posted with excellent results. It's a keeper! Thank you Lisa.
