I am always thinking of creative new recipes to enjoy some of my favourite dishes, one of which being salad.This beautiful Asian Inspired salad was a hit in my house. The combination of flavours and the Vinegar Lime Dressing all paired together perfectly.

This simple, and very visually appealing recipe was a hit in my home and will be made over and over again especially as the summer months approach. To add to the salad I created chicken skewers, to up the protein level and they were a great touch as well.
