The recipe for this Thai mushroom salad comes to you by way of my Thai father-in-law. Every so often he will text me step-by-step pictorial instructions of how to make various Thai dishes.  I'm lucky, I know!  I can always count on his recipes to be 1) delicious, 2) easy to make, and 3) healthy.  And this mushroom salad is no exception.

An assortment of mushrooms are combined with thinly sliced lemongrass, mint, and shallots.

Ingredients

Instructions

It's made by combining your favorite mild-flavored mushrooms with finely sliced lemongrass, shallots, and mint leaves.  A simple dressing of fish sauce, lime juice, a little palm sugar, and Thai chilis is then tossed on top, and it's ready to eat.

Although this salad is vegetable based, the mushrooms provide a nice meaty flavor while the spicy and sour dressing and fresh herbs give it that kick of brightness that's characteristic of Thai salads.  It's a delicious dish, but also something that you can feel good about eating.
