Thai-style salad is a vibrant, refreshing dish that combines fresh vegetables with zesty and aromatic ingredients. It's perfect as a light meal or a side dish to complement other Thai cuisine. This salad is not only delicious but also easy to make, featuring a colorful combination of carrots, red onions, cucumber, hot chili peppers, and fresh coriander leaves. Adding a touch of ginger root gives it an extra kick of flavor that ties everything together beautifully.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the carrot and then slice it into thin matchsticks or grate it using a box grater. Place the prepared carrot into a large mixing bowl.
- Peel the outer layer of the red onion, then slice it into thin strips or finely chop it. Add the sliced onion to the mixing bowl with the carrot.
- Peel the ginger root using a spoon to remove the skin, then finely grate it. Add the grated ginger to the bowl with the carrot and onion.
- Peel the cucumber if desired for a more delicate salad, or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, and then cut it into thin half-moon slices. Add the cucumber to the mixing bowl.
- Wearing gloves, if you prefer to protect your hands from the heat, cut off the stems from the chili peppers, slice them lengthwise, and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder heat. Finely chop the chili peppers and add them to the bowl.
- Roughly chop the coriander leaves and add them to the mixture in the bowl.
- Use tongs or a large spoon to thoroughly toss all the ingredients together in the bowl until evenly mixed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, with a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavors. Serve the Thai-style salad immediately for the freshest taste and crisp texture.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice or fish sauce to the salad before serving.
- If you’re sensitive to spice, reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds to control the heat level.
- To keep the vegetables crisp, prepare them just before serving, or store them in ice water until ready to use.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients like sliced bell peppers, bean sprouts, or chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
This Thai-style salad is a perfect blend of fresh, crisp vegetables and bold, zesty flavors. It’s a straightforward recipe that brings the tastes of Thailand to your kitchen in just a few simple steps. Enjoy this refreshing salad as a side dish or a light meal that’s both delicious and nutritious.
