Raw Thai vegetable salad

Some of our fondest memories can be found in Thailand. It is not just the landscape and people who are beautiful – but the food too. This dish does not require any cooking and is a clean take on a traditional Thai noodle salad.

It is flavoursome, filling and you can adjust the spice according to your taste buds. Bursting with goodness, the courgette, carrot and cucumber are best spiralised, but if you do not have a spiraliser, just julienne them instead. Amazing on the digestive system and wonderful on the palette – enjoy!

Serves: 2

Ingredients

SALAD:
1 large courgette (or 3 small courgettes)
1 large carrot (or 2 small carrots)
1 cucumber
1 red chilli
2 spring onions
½ cup. cashews
DRESSING:
4 tbsp. of tahini
4 tbsp. of tamari
2 tbsp. water
1 crushed garlic clove
½ chilli (finely diced)
1 tbsp of grated ginger
Juice of a lime
Juice of a lemon
1 tbsp. raw honey (add a little more if needed, depending on taste)

Instructions

Spiralise the courgettes, carrots and cucumber and place in a bowl.
Finely chop the spring onions and red chilli and add to the bowl.
Grind the cashews up as best you can and set aside.
Place all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together.
Pour the dressing over the bowl and mix well (I use my hands to really make sure the dressing is fully mixed together with the vegetables). Add cashews and serve.

Cucumber and melon salad

This gourde-geous summer salad is fresh, vibrant and filled with antioxidant phytonutrients. The watermelon is packed with lycopene, the red pigment antioxidant that protects the cell membrane’s from free radical attacks, and both strawberries and watermelon contain the rock star antioxidant vitamin C. Vitamin C offers a host of benefits including helping the body heal itself. Both strawberries and watermelon are beneficial for cardiovascular health and have anti-inflammatory properties. The spiralized cucumber makes up a light and fresh base and the red onion gives the dish a bit of a bite.

You can make a few adjustments according to what’s in your pantry, for instance, you could replace the watermelon with another melon like honeydew or a cantaloupe. Pomegranates can substitute the strawberries and lemon can replace the lime.

We found it is a great palate cleanser and can be served in small bowls in between courses, or as a side salad at a BBQ.
