This Vietnamese Chicken Salad was a favorite at this year’s Summer Wine Release party and is absolutely packed with vibrant flavors. The tender chicken is harmonized with fresh herbs, a nice crunch, and a tangy dressing. It’s also a perfect match to our crisp “Sunnydaze” Sauvignon Blanc, whose bright acidity and citrus notes elevate the salad’s complexity. A great summertime recipe and pairing, bringing you a delightful and cooling experience on these warm sunny days.

PAIRED WINES: Sunnydaze Sauvignon Blanc

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, vinegar, water, chile, and garlic and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let the dressing stand for 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the shallots and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the shallots on paper towels; reserve the oil for another use. Sprinkle the shallots with salt and let cool.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, carrots, red onion, cilantro, mint, and shredded chicken. Add the olive oil and the dressing and toss. Sprinkle with the peanuts and fried shallots and serve the chicken salad with lime wedges.
