Description
This rice noodle salad makes a delicious and healthy lunch that is great to bring to the office. Asian-inspired ingredients make this recipe a real standout, with ingredients such as mint, cilantro, and kaffir lime. Protein-rich chicken breasts help this salad be a filling meal, while carrots add a little bit of sweetness and a serving of vegetables. A sprinkling of peanuts on top of the salad add a bit of crunch and a ton of flavor to round the dish out.
