Citrus Chicken Larb

If you haven’t had Larb before, it is a Laotian/Thai meat salad. It’s absolutely amazing. Larb is spicy, sweet, savory, funky, bright, sour, herbaceous, crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying. This is why I think it is the most perfect food. It’s healthy while still being insanely flavorful and filling.

Author's Notes

You can use any kind of ground meat you have on hand. I tend to always have ground chicken in the freezer so I’m using chicken here.
