 Ingredients

 Veggies

1) Finely chopped red and white cabbage

2) Red and yellow bell pepper

3)Baby corn

4) Green onion

5) Shredded broccoli, carrots, beetroot

6) Finely chopped raw mushrooms

You can use your own combinations of veggies - you can also add finely chopped spinach and lettuce.

 Dressing

1) 3-4 tablespoons of peanut butter (if you are allergic to peanut, you can use almond butter or cashew butter).

2) 2 to 3 teaspoons of soya sauce.

3) Rice vinegar or lemon juice (1/2 teaspoon).

4) Maple syrup/Jaggery/ Honey (minimal quantity for sweetness - I don't add this because my peanut butter already has maple syrup in it.)

5) Finely chopped green chillies/ black pepper powder/ chili flakes - this is optional.

These quantities can be increased or reduced as per your taste and consistency requirement .

Blend in all the above ingredients so that the dressing becomes liquidy and creamy.

Add this dressing to the chopped and shredded veggies and give it a good toss.

Quick, yummy and exotic Thai salad is ready for you to dive into.
