Thai Wild Rice Salad With Mango
Make on FrescoSeriously, this is a great salad…I love it. It is beautiful as well as just so delicious. Perfect as a quick lunch, you can scale this recipe up or down to suit your requirements. This is how I love to eat in the summer; whip up a stunning salad dressing, a few fresh ingredients and there you go! No need to Thai hard at all!
This is one of my more popular recipes and so it doesn't just appear here, but was originally included in The Convenient Vegetarian cookbook and more recently in The Weekend Table, it is #accidentallyvegan and just a total family favourite.
I do love Thai food, this is probably not authentically Thai, but as I am a big fan of their flavours, I think we go there in spirit, even if not fully authentic. Make sure you also check out my Thai Top 25 ebook, available for free as part of your Insider Club ebook library, but also available for purchase in store.
We loved our foodie trip to Thailand last year, we have plans afoot for you to book your own foodie experiences in Thailand through us, so stay tuned here.
