I added a tbsp of peanut butter to the marinade and oh was this delicious! played with the ingredients a bit adding bean thread noodles to the salad bean sprouts and red pepper. Soooo yummy!!
This makes a really yummy lunch that's healthy and filling. I followed the recipe to a tee except I omitted the mint. The honey roasted peanuts are a must in this - they were great!
I enjoyed this salad- quick simple tasty & healthy. As a personal preference I replaced the peanuts with toasted cashews- toasting the nuts is a must or the flavour is lost. I loved how low-calorie the dressing is but I found the fresh mint and cilantro quite over-powering when left in the dressing. I recommend straining out the herbs after allowing the flavours to mingle. I also added chopped sugar snap peas and baby spinach to add variety to the veggies.
I made this the first time and we couldn't even eat it. I made it again thinking perhaps I didn't use the correct quantities with the same result. I love Thai food and have eaten and enjoyed many dishes containing fish sauce but the flavor and aroma of the sauce totally overpowered the other ingredients.
Loved this salad. My husband who is vietnamese was at first a bit skeptical because I don't make asian food very well (still learning). But as soon as he took a bite he inhaled it. He wanted more. So this recipe is a definite keeper. Its very easy to make and I like the idea of not having to cook (which is great when your having a busy day).
I dont really eat alot of thai but as soon as you try this you will want more my taste buds went mad. I added squeezed lemon as an extra dressing to finish of. I placed in on top of diced tomatoes corriander and mixed green salad mix.yum yum
I thought this recipe was very good. I could not find any fresh ginger that day so I had to use ground. To me there was too much of a ginger taste but the rest of my family loved it. I will try it again with the fresh instead and let you know...
Very good. I used mixed salad greens and added tomatoes to the salad. Even better the next day.
Good flavors although the ginger was too strong for me. Had to add more lime juice and fish sauce to balance it out and give it more of a Thai flavor. Couldn't taste the sweet and salty only the ginger. Used rotisserie chicken and doubled the juice. Will make again though.
