Salads
Salads are a crucial part of a Thai meal. For a well-balanced Thai meal, I recommend that you always have a salad on the table. Why? Thai salads are light has no oil in the dressing, and always has tart and bright flavours. This makes them the palate cleanser of the meal, which is especially important if you have richer dishes on the table such as curries.
Here are some popular Thai salads to get you started but do explore some lesser known salads below:
