Don’t stop at one Thai salad … This Thai cucumber salad is so refreshing, and this mango Thai noodle salad adds a sweet fruity note! While there are several types of chopped salads in Thailand, this one is not authentic. We call it a Thai chopped salad in reference to many of the wonderful flavors that we associate with Thai cooking such as mango, coconut milk, ginger, cilantro, and chili. Even though it is not an authentic Thai recipe, we are sure you will love this salad!
Sweet sesame mango dressing: Mango, water, coconut milk, honey, sesame oil, miso, ginger, fresh lime juice, garlic cloves, Thai red chili, and sea salt. Crispy wonton strips: Neutral flavored oil and wonton wrappers. Thai chopped salad: edamame beans, mixed greens, red cabbage, sugar or snap peas, carrot, bell pepper, mango, orange, fresh cilantro, cashews, and sesame seeds.
Greens: What are your favorite greens? Use those! You can use any green leaf you’d like to, or use up whatever is in the fridge. Crisp romaine lettuce, peppery arugula, spinach – anything works! You can even use up coleslaw mix. Veggies: Add crunchy broccoli florets, refreshing cucumber, or sweet kernels of corn. Use shredded green cabbage instead of red, if you’d like. You can also mix things up with pickled veggies, like radishes, carrots, cucumbers, or onions. Fruit: Add some halved juicy grapes or crisp apple slices. Pineapple chunks add a tropical touch, and pomegranate seeds are a burst of flavor. Fresh herbs: Add another fresh herb for another burst of freshness, like parsley, dill, mint, green onion, or basil. Protein: This salad recipe is the perfect base for your favorite protein. Slice some pan seared chicken or add crispy tofu. Fresh or roasted chickpeas work too! Flavored cashews: You can get cashews with seasoning, such as Trader Joe’s Thai lime and chili cashews, for something a little bit extra! Dressing: Mix up the dressing! Our satay peanut sauce works so well! Spicy: Add a little fiery kick by adding sliced red Thai chilis or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Mason jar salad: Make this take-to-work friendly by using a wide-mouth mason jar, first adding the dressing, then add any proteins you’re using, followed by the veggies, and lastly, the greens. Add the sesame and cashews before eating. This works great for meal prep. Wrap it up: Try wrapping it up in a large tortilla to enjoy it as a wrap. Noodles: Add ramen or rice noodles and an extra dash of dressing to make this a noodle dish.
