How to Make Crunchy Thai Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar until well combined.
  2. Blanch 1 cup of green beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and then drain thoroughly.
  3. Add the blanched green beans, 1 cup bean sprouts, 1/2 red bell pepper (thinly sliced), 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced), 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 1-2 jalapeños (finely minced, adjust to taste) to the bowl with the dressing.
  4. Gently toss all ingredients until evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Arrange fresh lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon the salad over the lettuce and serve immediately. Optional: Top with grilled cod or thinly sliced pork fillet.
