Tips for improving your salad

1) Dress up your salad with a good mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and squeeze some lemon for that extra zing.

2) For a fruity salad, chop some apples, add walnuts, golden raisins and yoghurt

3) Sprinkle pine nuts onto your salad for that added crunch.

4) Add some goat’s cheese to your mixed greens, as well as macadamia nuts and sliced avocado for a creamy salad.

5) Throw in some fresh succulent prawns and chopped ripe mangoes for a tropical and seaside salad.

6) Go healthy with a bean salad – combine black beans, pinto beans, green peas and chickpeas and add orange juice, Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar.

7) Combine greens like arugula and lettuce, add pomegranate seeds, sliced oranges, grated lemon rind and a generous dose of olive oil.

8) Mint does wonders on a hot day and all you have to do is to throw in some chopped mint leaves

Thai Honey Green Mango Salad Recipe



I concocted this Thai Honey Green Mango Salad Recipe when trying to replace sugar for clover honey in the Thai green mango appetizer. I also added some chopped green apples for better texture. Surprising, the result is wonderful -- honey gives a more enhanced yet subtle fruity taste to the whole dish. Try my easy recipe.

Ingredients:
1 small green mango
Half a green apple
1 red chilli
3 lemon leaves
5 shallots
5-6 Thai basil leaves for garnish
2 tbsp dried shrimp
1 tbsp roasted peanuts

Dressing:
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp clover honey
½ tbsp lime juice

Method:
1. Skin and cut the mango into long strips. Chopp green apple into fine cubes.
2. Remove seeds from chilli and slice thinly.
3. Slice shallots thinly.
4. Wash and pound the dried shrimp finely. Fry it with a little oil until fragrant and dry.
5. Combine fish sauce, honey and lime juice.
6. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, pour in the dressing.
7. Toss well and serve with basil leaves.

Serves 2 persons.
