Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salad Add-ins

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • ½ cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies: Shred the green cabbage finely, grate the carrots, and thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions. Set these prepared vegetables aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, sugar, and Sriracha sauce until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
  3. Toss It Together: Add the chopped fresh cilantro and roughly chopped roasted peanuts to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Add Avocado Last: Gently fold in the diced ripe avocado to avoid mashing it, ensuring the creamy texture remains intact, enhancing the salad’s creaminess.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for 15 to 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together beautifully before serving chilled as a refreshing Thai-inspired dish.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
  • You can toast the peanuts lightly to enhance their flavor.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the Sriracha or omit it entirely.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.
