Cuisine Thai
- ½ Raw Papaya
- 1 Carrot(medium sized)
- 1 Raw Mango(small)
- ½ Ripe Mango
- 1 Cucumber optional
- ½ Red Bell Pepper optional
Ingredients for Dressing
- ¼ Cup Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce(gluten-free)
- 1-2 Thai Red Chilli/Green Chilli or as required
- 1 tsp Chilli Flakes or as required
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tsp Jaggery Powder/Raw Cane Sugar or use as required
- ¼ Cup Roasted Skinned Peanuts coarsely crushed
Prepare Vegetables
Grate Raw Papaya, Cucumber, Carrot or cut in thin strips/juliennes.
Thinly cut Raw Mango, Ripe Mango, Red Bell Pepper in thin stripes.
Finely chop fresh coriander.
Coarsely crush peanuts and keep aside.
Prepare Salad Dressing
I have used chutney grinder to make the dressing. You can also use your mini food processor/blender.
Add all the ingredients listed under dressing section.
Give few pulses to mix all the ingredients. I have added garlic cloves and chilies also instead of finely chopping it.
Assemble Salad
In a mixing bowl add all the prepared veggies.
Add the dressing and mix lightly. Add peanuts, chopped coriander/cilantro and other herbs if using.
Serve immediately.
- You can prepare and mix the veggies(except cucumber) and refrigerate ahead of serving. Add dressing only when ready to serve.
- I have used green chilies here as I could not source Thai Red Chillies due to the current lockdown.
- Instead of brown sugar or jaggery powder you can add raw cane sugar, maple syrup or honey (then it won't be vegan salad).
- Lemon can be substituted with rice vinegar.
- For those who peanut allergy, you can substitute with salted and roasted cashewnuts.
