How to make Thai Herb Salad

The picture shows the salad undressed as this was made for a picnic and I took the pic at home. Always bring your dressing separately and dress the salad at the last possible moment!

Salad

1. Shred the lettuce, roughly chop all the herbs, slice the cucumber and smash the cashew nuts into little bits.

2. Combine everything in a big mixing bowl. Mix well. Scatter sesame seeds on top.

Dressing

1. Whisk together a glug of chilli sauce, the juice of one lime (put the lime halves in with the salad after, for garnish), a dash of sesame oil and a little bit of salt. Adjust the levels to your liking.

2. Store dressing in a container until you are ready to serve the salad.

  mmm, this is going to be my dinner tonight. for some reason, though, i keep thinking i want to put a vietnamese twist on this by substituting fish sauce & sugar for the chilli sauce, omitting the salt.

  Tried it the other night and was great. The lime-based dressing was excellent.

  both can be found at any large supermarket. Try the [Precce](http://www.tokyu-store.co.jp/precce/) brand of supermarkets, they are pretty decent.

  fwiw, If you're in the USA and want to make this, coriander is cilantro. Here, we call the seed coriander and the leaf cilantro. dunno why. While coriander (the seed), if stored and used properly, has loads of flavor - the ground sawdust called coriander in U.S. supermarkets, has almost none.
