Thai Chicken Salad ("Larb Kai")

Good Tuesday morning! This past Sunday night,  I had made a great Thai chicken salad, aka "Larb Kai".  What I've enjoyed the most is spending time with my sister in preparing this delicious dish. This dish was enjoyed by my husband, sister, and girl friend. Of course, my husband ate the most and is my biggest fan.

Let me know how you like it.
