Is Thai salad healthy?
Yes, well this one is. If you want less sodium, get the low sodium soy sauce.
I want to make this Thai salad over and over again, and tell everyone about it. It’s that good!
Anything with mango makes my heart sing 🙂 Love, love mango. In a salad? Oh yes please! This salad has the right amount of sweetness, plus a great kick from the red chili pepper.
My top post on Google has been this Korean style cabbage salad , and for good reason- it’s easy to make and so tasty. It hits every taste bud in one bowl. So here is another Asian inspired salad, that is crunchy, flavorful and gorgeous. You can eat it for lunch on it’s own or add a fillet of your favorite meat (I like to add salmon).
I don’t know about you, but Thai food is one of my favorites. Just looking at the images of this crunchy Thai salad makes my tummy rumble. In Thai cuisine, a fresh salad completes a meal, and I stand by that 100%.
