As we ring in the new year , I’m sure a lot of you out there are looking for fresh starts.
It’s always my resolution every year to eat better so I can have more energy to keep up with my kids. But being a chef for a living can complicate my goals, because I like to eat delicious food and I know how to cook it. And that delicious food doesn’t always boost my health. But this year, I’m going to keep this banh mi chicken salad on a weekly rotation. Banh mi ― a Vietnamese baguette sandwich that blends meat and pickled vegetables ― is one of my guilty pleasures. It reminds me of many late nights in kitchens, when the only thing open was a tiny shop offering Vietnamese sandwiches. To make it 2020-friendly, I’m going to use all the healthy parts of the sandwich that burst with flavor and cut out the carb-heavy bread in favor of a bed of bibb lettuce.
Many of the elements of this salad can be made ahead of time and some, like the pickles, taste even better and develop a deeper flavor after spending an extra day or two in the fridge. The lemongrass dressing is so delicious, you’re going to put it on everything. It’s bright, zesty, has sweet and sour notes and works double duty serving as both a marinade for the chicken and a dressing for the salad.
If a healthy diet is in your 2020 plans but bland flavors aren’t, this salad is right up your alley. Your taste buds will thank you.
