Lemongrass, Chicken & Papaya Salad



⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A few of you have asked me for some healthy packed lunch ideas, well this salad is perfect. What I would do is deliberately make extra so that you can enjoy a good portion the following day. If you want to bulk out this recipe, then add cooked rice noodles and it will be delicious.
