Yum Gà (Thai Chicken Salad)

Thank you Stacy for the recommendation....
Here in Southern California we have a lime tree in our backyard. My tree is going crazy this year. Nutso to be exact. It spits out numerous limes every day and I no matter how fast I give them away... I can't seem to use them all up.

 I made a statement about it on my facebook this week and one of my friends recommended Yum Nua, which is (Thai Beef Salad). I really don't eat beef (much to my husband and son's dismay). But I do eat Chicken and fish. So I am making Thai Chicken Salad.... Yum Gà. =) Here is the process...

1 lb Chicken.
1 TB Canola oil

Salad:
1/4 cup sliced onions, separated
2 tomatoes, wedged
1/4 cup sliced cucumber
1/4 cup thinly sliced Thai chile peppers

Sauce:
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
1 tablespoon agave
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons minced ginger
3 tablespoons chopped coriander/cilantro (including the roots)
1/4 cup chopped green onions (spring onions)
1/4 cup chopped shallots (small red or purple onions)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chili oil

Thinly slice the chicken into diagonal bite sized pieces.
Then fry in 1 TB Canola oil.
Combine with the salad ingredients,
For the sauce, combine all ingredients and chill.
Combine meat, salad and mix the sauce and toss the whole.
Serve with sticky rice, lettuce, condiments and dipping sauce.
