Recipe - Thai inspired salad

Image
Of course with the New Year comes the same old resolution - to eat healthy.  While watching Food Network, I saw this interesting recipe and thought that I would give it a try.  And despite my utter dislike for cilantro (tastes like dish soap if you ask me) I decided to follow the recipe exactly and who'd of thunk that I would like this salad!!  This salad is delicious and refreshing and a treat for your senses, despite the heavily cilantro-based dressing.  Add some baked/grilled/rotisserie chicken breast or shrimp on top and you have yourself a healthy and filling main meal or serve it as a side dish.  Either way, you will enjoy this salad and not feel guilty devouring it.  Enjoy...
