This thai style salad is a delicious option for any meal time, you can add shredded chicken breasts to add protein and make it a complete meal. To create the carrot and cucumber strips we used a peeler that has an edge for this purpose. You can use a mandolin, a spiralizer, or simply thinly slice your veggies to form rounds using a knife.

The combination of cucumber and carrots is refreshing, and the mixture of ingredients such as rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey and ginger give it a thai twist. If you need to find a substitute for rice vinegar, you can use cider vinegar, white vinegar is too strong.

We have been finding beautiful items from the Pioneer Woman collection at Almacenes Siman. The collection includes this hand painted bowls, and this pretty salt container with a wooden top, as well as an oil and vinegar set that will add a pop of color to any kitchen.
