Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Green apples
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 small Thai bird’s eye chili
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Palm sugar
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Wash and dry the green apples. Core and julienne them into thin matchstick-like strips.
Peel the carrot and julienne it as well. Set aside with the apples.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and chop the green onion into small pieces.
Coarsely chop the roasted peanuts and set them aside for topping.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and mint leaves. Additionally, thinly slice the Thai bird’s eye chili (adjust to taste).
Make the dressing by mixing lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar in a small bowl. Grate the garlic clove finely and stir it into the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a large salad bowl, combine the julienned green apples, carrot, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, mint, and chili.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl, and sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top for a crunchy finish.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or as a side dish with your favorite Thai main course.
