Super simple salads are always the best. No need to sweat up a storm in the kitchen, this can be done in minutes on a BBQ or cooktop. Dinner done!

This Thai Chicken Salad is a vibrant, fresh, and flavour-packed dish that’s as easy to make as it is to eat. With juicy mango, creamy avocado, crunchy crispy noodles, and tender chicken, it's the perfect balance of textures and tastes. Thanks to the Thermomix, prepping the dressing and chopping the salad ingredients is quick and effortless—making this a go-to meal for busy weeknights, warm weather lunches, or a light, satisfying dinner. This salad has been in my family arsenal for a really long time now, it was first published on here in 2007, pre Thermomix ownership for me! I have fixed that up, you will see! I mean if you are not making your own salad dressings in the Thermie, do you even own one?
