The story behind this recipe
I love Thai food! Specifically I love the intense pungent flavors of Thai cooking that makes every dish drool worthy. I created this recipe because I've been making the effort to eat better. Like every healthy eater I didn't want to sacrifice delicious flavors in the process. My salad is packed with such an incredible explosion of Thai flavor you forget you're eating a bowl full of raw veggies.
