Crunchy Thai salad recipe
Thai salads are known to play with the palate by making use of a broad range of flavour profiles. The crunch of fresh shredded veg meets a melding of sweet, salty, spicy flavours with the addition of a sesame oil, fish sauce, lime and chilli dressing. A final flourish of fresh herbs lifts the dish - a must-make in the summer months. This crunchy, veggie side is a great option to serve with steamed fish or BBQ meat skewers.
