Fresh vegetable salad
2 servings
15 minutes
Fresh vegetable salad is a harmony of flavors and textures from Pan-Asian cuisine. Light and refreshing, it combines crunchy salad leaves, the sweetness of cherry tomatoes, the sharpness of shallots, and the spiciness of ginger. A unique feature of the dish is thin strips of red pepper soaked in icy water that become crispy and take on unusual shapes. The dressing made from rice vinegar, soy sauce, and vegetable oil adds depth with sweet-sour notes. This salad pairs wonderfully with fish or chicken dishes but stands alone as an ideal light dinner or side to a main course. It delights the palate while refreshing and filling you with energy and a sense of lightness—perfect for those who appreciate balance and freshness in food.
