HANDS DOWN ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES ON THE BLOG!
This salad is full of wonderful Thai flavors. It’s creamy, crunchy, and simply delicious!
I have had friends call this my pad-thai salad and I have to agree, it does have similar flavor notes. I personally love pad-thai but love the greens in this recipe more! You get all the favor without all the guilt! I highly recommend making this salad with hearty leaves such as Kale and cabbage. They really hold up well to the dressing.
For your protein source, we are using chicken, but simply grilled prawns, or edamame are nice alternatives.
FYI on the dressing, it works wonderfully as a dipping sauce for satays and veggies or slathered over any grilled meat!
