Brazilian Chicken Salad (Salpicão)

Brazilian Chicken Salad (Salpicão)

Salpicão is usually served with shoestring fries on top (or on the side). Feel free to add them as well — for the sake of authenticity of course.

Also, as mentioned above, Salpicão may also include peas (canned or fresh), corn (canned or fresh) and even pineapple. Do play around with this recipe.
