ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD

Asian salads can be a tricky, the really good dressings tend to have way too much sugar to feel good about eating a salad (and if that’s the case, what is the point really).

So, I’ve been playing around and made a little bit healthier Asian style dressing and y’all, it’s good. Josh typically doesn’t like this type of salad, but the dressing has enough spice that he even loves it.

Y’all let me know what you think!
