I love eating salads but know many people who think that salads are boring and bland. So, if you also fall in that category or know some who hates salad then you must try this salad. The opinion of everyone who doesn't like salad will change after eating this Thai cabbage salad.

And, if you already love salads then this will be a delightful recipe for you.

Type of Thai salads

There are different varieties of salads in Thai cuisine and almost none of them is vegan and vegetarian because of the fish sauce used in the dressing.

Thai salads are divided into four main categories:

  1. Yam: Yam style salads are made with different proteins, vegetables, fruits, noodles, and herbs served with a dressing made from shallots, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers.
  2. Tam: Tam salads are made with unripe papaya with a dressing containing lime juice, fish sauce, dried shrimp, sugar, garlic, chili peppers, and sugar.
  3. Lap/ Larb: Lap salads are made with ground dry roasted glutinous rice and a dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, ground dried chilis, and sugar.
  4.  Phla: Phla salad is made with different types of proteins mixed with a dressing made from shallots, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers.

Thai salads are normally served as a main course dish and even enjoyed as a snack.

Since my Thai salad recipe is vegan you cannot call it an authentic Thai salad recipe. But, it's no less delicious than an authentic non-vegetarian Thai Salad. Lack of meat or fish makes it taste fresher and that makes it even tastier.

        Loved it. Really great Thai inspired salad. I didn't have crushed peanuts, or mango, so substituted with peach and cashews.
