Chukar Salad with Peanut-Lime Dressing

Inspired by the crisp, refreshing flavors in spring rolls, this salad is a great way to enjoy light-meat game birds when the weather turns warm

Here’s a light, refreshing salad to try with chukar or any light-meat game bird, such as pheasant, turkey, quail, or ruffed grouse. The salad is inspired by the Vietnamese flavors in spring rolls, like bright mint, a healthy dose of veggies, and a creamy, tangy peanut and lime dressing. Lastly, honey-roasted peanuts add crunch to the salad. If you’re substituting chukar meat with a bigger bird for this recipe, poach the meat longer and look for an internal temperature of at least 165° Fahrenheit.
