Thai food 🙂 Again:). Today I have a super easy salad recipe for you. If you like the classic Thai salad tom sam but no green papaya around, this Thai carrot salad is the closest one for you.

I just love tom sam or the classic Thai papaya salad but with no unripe papaya in sight (I have tried hard 🙁 ), I am making do with this version.

Now when I say, making do it does not mean there is a compromise in taste or flavor. I never cook that way 🙂

I love my salads to be fresh, with some crunch and a dressing that is flavorful but not overpowering the fresh produce. This carrot salad has it all.

It has that delicious crunch from carrots and cabbage. There are some sweet corns, bell peppers for the color pop. The dressing is unmistakably Thai and everything is topped with loads of crushed roasted peanuts. Sold ?

While this salad will be a wonderful side in any Asian meal, say with Thai red curry, green curry or yellow curry with rice, I love this as light meal in itself.

You can also pair this salad with vegan fried rice, pad thai noodles or Thai fried rice.

You should totally try this recipe to know how good it is 🙂

To make this salad you will need very few ingredients apart from fresh vegetables. The vegetables used in this salad can be easily swapped with whatever you prefer.

Just keep the carrots as base and make this salad your own.

Here I have used shredded cabbage, finely chopped capsicums, fresh chopped cilantro leaves.

For dressing ingredients I have used a mix of soy sauce, minced ginger garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, a dash of lime juice, pound black peppercorns and salt. This dressing is a flavor burst and very delicious yet mild one.

I like this salad to be fairy dry, so I have used very less dressing here. Feel free to increase the quantity of dressing ingredients as per taste.

If you prefer a spicy salad you can add 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce or siracha to the dressing.

The star of this salad is roasted peanuts. They taste so good and crunchy. Keep the roasted crushed peanuts separately and add just before serving, You can also keep an extra bowl of roasted peanuts and add as required.

Variations With The Recipe

Along with carrots you can add shredded beets or zucchini in this salad.

To make it healthier you can add greens like chopped kale, bok choy greens or even baby spinach

To make this salad gluten free use tamari or liquid aminos instead of soy sauce.
