When I lived in Cleveland I would eat at a really good Vietnamese restaurant that had a dish I couldn't get enough of. Since I had it so frequently, I figured out the components and flavors and created my own easy-to-make version. Everyone who's tasted it loves it. -Erin Schillo, Northfield, Ohio

I was disappointed with this salad. The chicken was dry and the dressing was bland.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll just use less chili next time.
