How to make it

I kept this recipe super simple so we can get it onto the table quickly!

Here's how to make Thai salad:

1. shake together the peanut dressing- the perfect blend of tangy, sweet and savory flavors
2. chop some cilantro
3. toss everything up with one bag of Mann's Rainbow Salad and one bag of Mann's Kohrabi 'Linguine'

Can I swap the Rainbow Salad and Kohlrabi Linguine? Sure! Swap for two bags of cole slaw mix (20 oz or approx 8 cups). Mann's also has a delicious Broccoli Slaw Mix that would be fantastic in this Thai salad recipe!

Can I swap the peanut butter out? Yes! Almond butter works great in this Thai peanut salad dressing.

Can this recipe work for meal prep? Unfortunately once dressed in the dressing, this salad must be eaten right away. If you are using it for meal prep, you can keep the slaw away from the dressing until just before serving. Layering it in mason jars may work!

Can I make this into a meal? Yes! Just add some cooked chicken or chickpeas and you have yourself a delicious meal.

Serve it with

• Perfect Baked Chicken Breast or Baked Chicken Thighs
• Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin
• Air Fryer Tofu
• Balsamic Salmon Marinade or Herb Crusted Broiled Salmon
