Guaranteed crowd-pleasers, these wraps are perfect for leftover grilled chicken. The distinctive salty flavor from the fish sauce is balanced by fresh mint and lemon juice.

Ingredient note: A pungent, soy sauce-like condiment used throughout Southeast Asia, fish sauce is made from fermented, salted fish. Available in large supermarkets and in Asian markets.

Great flavor... except for the mint I'm eating this as I write this review. The dressing is surprisingly delicious, not salty but tastes well seasoned, and definitely not fishy. The only issue I have with this is the mint. I didn't have the 2/3 cup called for, and added about 1.5 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint. It's far too minty for my tastes, and I think it detracts from the rest of the salad, which is absolutely delicious. Next time I make this, I'm only going to add a teaspoon of fresh mint. Otherwise, this is definitely going into the summer meal rotation. Pros: easy, make-ahead, delicious Cons: far too minty
