This Thai-Flavored Raw Broccoli Salad was an experiment that was a happy success! |
When I made Thai-Style Spicy Cabbage Slaw with my nephew Jake, we were both absolutely captivated by the spicy Thai flavors in the dressing. I started thinking about what else might taste good with that combination of lime, fish sauce, sweetener, and red pepper flakes, and next time Jake showed up to cook I proposed trying it on a broccoli salad. For our first try we blanched the broccoli, which was definitely not a good idea. But we persevered and ended up with this amazing raw broccoli salad with red onion, mint, and peanuts and the spicy Thai dressing. If you're wondering about mint and broccoli together, so did we, but the whole combination really worked. If you like Thai flavors and raw broccoli you must try this salad.
