This Crunchy Thai Salad holds up to its name; it's full of crunchy goodies and tossed with the most amazing dressing...you'll keep coming back for more.
Make the Dressing ahead of time: Add all dressing ingredients into a blender (or immersion hand blender) and blend until mixture is mostly liquid (small chunks are fine.) Cover and chill until ready to use.
In a large bowl, toss together all salad ingredients except for the nuts. Gently toss in desired amount of prepared dressing. Divide into individual plates and sprinkle nuts over the top. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Please don't skip the fish sauce, as it lends an amazing "umami" flavor to the dressing - it's not "fishy" tasting at all. Rather, it elevates the rest of the ingredients.Dressing can be made 1-2 days ahead; I like making extra to use for future salads. It's naturally oil-free and fat free.If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating :)
