Spicy Salads

Thai Salads are intermationally recognized and love for their exceptionally robust and spicy dressing, tossed with lots of fresh or slightly cooked vegetables, herbs and meat. These elements are blended to impart tree dominant flavors: sour, salty and hot. Slight sweetness is sometimes added for a well-rounded, delight-ful finishing touch. By varying these elements, the cook then creates a delightful combination of flavors, textures and aromas that gives each type of salads its uniqueness.
