Such an easy salad to put together – a cool salad for warm Summer days and nights. Shaved Fresh Coconut is a must! (Easily found at many grocery store & health food shops – coconut meat chunked out of it’s shell – all you do is shave it over the salad.)

Use coconut cream – the thick top part of your can of coconut milk; it replaces some fat in the dressing and is delicious! Packs a second coconut punch. Fresh Basil and Mint in the dressing gives it a distinct herbal essence.

Ingredients are: Lime Juice, Rice Vinegar, Fresh Ginger, Garlic, Honey, Fresh Basil & Mint, Neutral Oil, Salt, Thai Chilis and Coconut Cream.
Easily made in a blender or small food processor – takes only minutes!
