Print Recipe Morning Glory While travelling in Vietnam – I am not exactly the most adventurous person when it comes to trying new foods. I am pretty set in that I don’t do hot and I don’t do spicy. Odd name? Yeah.. I’ll pass. However eventually we tried Morning Glory which is the fancy name…
This is a classic chicken salad from the Thailand, Cambodian Laos area. The proper name is Larb Gai and is quite often served with steamed rice or in lettuce cups. We’ve been a bit crafty in omitting some of the less healthy ingredients (namely – sugar!) but the taste is still fresh and amazing!
Thankfully heading to Vietnam as much as I do has opened me up to some AMAZINGLY awesome and tasty plant based meals. This salad is ever so fresh and tangy and is very straightforward to make AND it goes as a side for so many other dishes!
My love affair with Vietnam is no secret. Chilling out on the beach only to then ride back into town to eat delicious food? OH IF I MUST!
I’ve never really been one to fist pump at the prospect of salad. I do believe it was a Simpsons episodes that coined the phrase “You don’t make friends with Salad”.
This recipe and it’s salad are an exception to that phrase.
Light, tangy and just flat out delicious – eating this healthy meal is one of perfect examples of eating healthy and loving every yummy morsel.
