About Vegan Thai Salad | Easy Thai Salad
Vegan Thai Salad: Fresh ingredients. The play of colors. And a zingy sweet-sour-savory dressing makes this South East Asian delight the iconic dish that it has become. For one can't help but fall in love with this once exotic salad that offers a mouthful of flavors and textures thrown together in good measure. I love the fact that one can make this salad without resorting to the use of any canned/preserved ingredients and preservative laden seasonings. While it is tough the find someone who does not know about it these days, I find that most restaurants serve the more popular seafood version. But the vegan version can be equally delicious if not more. Here is one which uses raw mangoes that are so 'in season' !!

- Take all the ingredients (except the peanuts) in a mixing bowl along the dressing. Toss everything together.
