Thai Green Salad Recipe

Thai green salad makes a wonderfully cooling side dish to spicy curries, pad thai, and other thai favorites, but it's also an unexpected treat for non-asian meals, too. This easy recipe can be put together in a matter of minutes and includes a simple thai-inspired salad dressing that's delicious, fresh, and slightly creamy. The dressing is also healthy and can be made as mild or as spicy as you like by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes. If you haven't worked with fish sauce before, which is an ingredient in this salad dressing, you might be taken aback by it. Fish sauce might not have the most pleasant odor, but it tastes better than it smells and it's typically used in a balanced fashion so it's not as overpowering as you might think. It's also a key ingredient in thai dishes, so it's imperative that you don't skip it because of its unappetizing aroma.
