Salad can be so good… but you really need the right dressing. This is an easy and flavorful salad dressings. It can be perfect for a fast lunch time salad or as a side dish to compliment a Thai or asian inspired meal.
Typically asian and Thai cooking in particular likes to have a balance of flavors. Those flavors are umami, salty, sour, spicy and sweet. That sweet flavor can be a bit of a problem if you are on a low carb diet. In this recipe I’m skipping the palm sugar for erythritol. It works out pretty well.
To keep the salad fast and easy I just used a mixed greens blend, pre shredded carrots and bean sprouts.
