How to Make Rotisserie Chicken and Crisp Veggie Salad with Vietnamese Dressing

1. Dressing Prep

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 cup of water until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the minced garlic, minced chile, lime juice, and fish sauce to create the dressing.

2. Combine Ingredients

Add the pulled chicken, sliced cabbage, cucumber, and bell pepper to the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

3. Final Toss

Gently mix in the peppery greens, basil, and mint leaves, taking care not to bruise the herbs.

4. Serve

Evenly divide the salad among serving bowls. Top each with a generous sprinkle of crispy shallots or onions. Serve immediately.

Pitfalls and tips

Quality Rotisserie Chicken

Start with a high-quality chicken from a reputable source or make your own rotisserie-style chicken at home.

Balance Your Dressing

Achieve the right harmony of salty, sour, sweet, and spicy in your Vietnamese dressing, adjusting to taste.

Fresh, Crisp Vegetables

Use the freshest veggies available and consider quick-pickling some for extra zing and crunch.

Herb Selection

Use fresh mint, cilantro, and Thai basil generously, and buy or pick them fresh on the day of making the salad.

Proper Chicken Shredding Technique

Shred the chicken by hand after removing the skin to get the perfect size and texture.
