"My husband and I love to eat Thai and Indian food, but notice that most of these cuisines do not offer fresh salads on their menus," writes Grace Kunert of Salt Lake City, Utah. "This is a recipe we developed to keep all those ethnic flavors when we needed a light dinner."

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of dressing.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great for people who like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was light and flavorful and the chicken was grilled perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the salad for extra crunch.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The chicken always comes out dry and the dressing is too runny.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste and the chicken was a little dry.
