    How to Make Chicken and Herb Salad With Nuoc Cham

    1. Make Nuoc Cham Dressing

    Whisk together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of water until the sugar dissolves. Add 1 minced garlic clove, 1 minced bird’s-eye chile, 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice, and 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, stirring together to create a flavorful nuoc cham dressing.

    2. Combine Salad Ingredients with Dressing

    Tear 3 cups of chicken meat into bite-size pieces, and add to the bowl with the nuoc cham dressing. Fold in 2 cups of thinly sliced red or green cabbage, 1 thinly sliced English cucumber, and 1 thinly sliced bell pepper.

    3. Add Herbs and Final Touch

    Add 1.5 cups of leafy greens, 1 cup of Thai or sweet basil leaves, and 1 cup of mint leaves to the bowl. Toss everything together until coated in the dressing. Top the salad with 1/2 cup of crispy fried shallots or onions before serving.
