Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced
2 stalks lemongrass finely chopped
1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
1 cup carrot julienned
1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
1 cup fresh herbs chopped
1/4 cup roasted peanuts crushed

Dressing Ingredients

3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
