Summer Thai Salad with Cellophane Noodles, Red Cabbage, Mango & Tangy Dressing. Incredibly flavorful, easy to make, and super healthy.
If you are a Thai food lover like me then this is a recipe for you! However, to be exact, this recipe is only Thai inspired and not authentic Thai because it’s my own creation. Nevertheless, the flavor is very close to traditional Thai food and if you try it, I am sure you will agree.
Although I am also using some Japanese elements, such as black sesame seeds and sesame oil. The reason for that is mainly because many people have peanut allergies. Yet, if you like adding crushed peanuts and using peanut oil instead of sesame seed oil, that’s perfectly fine. That will make this Summer Thai Salad actually more authentic.
Now, regarding shredding the cabbage, I would like to mention a Cabbage Shredder, that you can purchase on Amazon. I wrote about it in greater detail in my previous recipe for a kale salad the GURU SALAD. Of course, you can just slice it with a knife, but trust me, it is a big difference. Well, at least, I personally prefer my cabbage sliced very finally, especially for a salad like this.
And if you are wondering about the cellophane noodles, they are available in most supermarkets. They are also called Mung Bean Vermicelli and you can get them on Amazon. They are one of my favorites and I made several recipes with them such as GREEN THAI CURRY. You can find the other recipes too if you like on my LUNCH & DINNER.
Well, I think addressed everything I feel that you may like to know. However, if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for visiting!
