Spicy Salad with Corn and Iceberg
4 servings
15 minutes
Spicy salad with corn and iceberg is a vibrant combination of freshness, crunch, and spiciness. Inspired by Mediterranean and Asian motifs, it features greens, spices, and lime for a rich flavor. Crunchy iceberg adds lightness while juicy tomatoes and carrots provide natural sweetness balanced by chili heat. The dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, and vegetable oil adds a hint of acidity. Cashews contribute a nutty note while herbs bring aromatic freshness. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish, especially enjoyable in warm weather when craving something light yet flavorful.
