Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Green apple
- 1 piece Red apple
- 3 pieces Celery stalks
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts
- 1 piece Red chili (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash the green apple, red apple, and celery thoroughly.
Core the apples and slice them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Keep the peel on for extra color and texture.
Slice the celery stalks diagonally into thin pieces to maximize crunch.
Chop the fresh cilantro roughly. Reserve some leaves for garnish if desired.
If using, finely slice the red chili into thin rings for a spicy kick.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, finely minced garlic clove, and salt. Mix well until the honey dissolves completely and the dressing is well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, celery, chopped cilantro, and sliced chili (if using). Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with roasted peanuts and reserved cilantro leaves for a touch of crunch and freshness.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer, side dish, or healthy snack. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Thai-inspired salad!
