Thai Salad Dressing

This is a simple Thai-style dressing I make when I want to turn whatever fresh vegetables I have into a quick salad.

It’s built around the flavours I usually associate with Thai salads: plenty of lime for acidity, fish sauce and soy for saltiness, then garlic, chilli and fresh coriander. I also add just a small amount of sesame oil for a little extra fragrance.

There’s no cooking involved and it takes about five minutes to put together. Toss it through leafy greens, cucumber, carrots, cabbage or whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, then adjust the lime, chilli or fish sauce to your own taste.
