TANGLED THAI SALAD FOR ZWT-9



Tangled Thai Salad for ZWT-9 image

FRESH is a sml chain of Canadian-owned & operated restaurants, which originally began as a juice bar 20 yrs ago. Everything on their menu is vegan, altho they offer some vegetarian dishes at their takeout counter. They have published 3 cookbooks described as "for those relatively comfortable w/cooking (particularly vegan cooking)" & "with restaurant quality pretty much guaranteed". This recipe is FRESH's famous Tangled Thai Salad - 1 of their MOST requested recipes. FRESH uses a "spiralizer" to cut the carrot & yellow beets into super-long, thin strands that form a big round tangle of a salad, but a julienne peeler will give you nice long strands as well. If you have no spiralizer or julienne peeler, just cut the veggies into sticks as thin & long as you can. Said to serve "1 person as a complete meal", it also serves 2-3 as a side-salad. FRESH uses their "Salad Topper" w/this Thai salad, but I saw it as optional & have entered it as a separate recipe. This is a no-cook recipe & I have allowed 20 min for ingredient prep plus assembly. Enjoy!

Salad Topper by FRESH - Use W/Tangled Thai Salad - ZWT-9 image

FRESH is a sml chain of Canadian-owned & operated restaurants, which originally began as a juice bar 20 yrs ago. Everything on their menu is vegan, altho they offer some vegetarian dishes at their takeout counter. 1 of their MOST requested recipes is their Tangled Thai Salad (recipe entered by me) & FRESH uses this "Salad Topper" w/the Tangled Thai Salad. Per the recipe intro: "This crunchy mix adds great flavor & texture to any salad. If you want to use it as a topper for fruit salad, yogurt or oatmeal - Leave the salt out & replace it with sugar. If you can't find puffed quinoa at your local health food store, you can sub puffed millet. This recipe makes 1 3/4 cups & the mixture keeps for months in an airtight container." Altho used w/the Tangled Thai Salad, the intro suggested a wider variety of uses & I saw it as an optional add to the Tangled Thai Salad. SO I decided to enter it as a separate recipe. Enjoy!
