Author Notes

¬¬¬¬¬I love the refreshing taste of mint in almost everything. The recipe for this salad is my version of the Poulet Au Rie, from one of my favorite restaurants in Hermosa Beach, CA. My Husband and I ate at this restaurant on a weekly basis when I lived in Southern California. There have been many times I begged for the recipe, offered money for the recipe, I even paid $100.00 per month for a weekly delivery and the owner would not budge with any hint on how the dressing is made. With lots of testing and practice I learned to make my own version which on some days tastes better than the salad I was addicted to. Beware this salad is addicting. I know people who drive an hour out of their way just to have this salad. —ChowBella76
