Delicious Thai Herbal Salad

Updated: Sep 1, 2020


A wonderful flavored herbal salad with coconut and 6 different herbs. We make it on special occasions only, for our New Year buffet for example! It is quite laborious to cut all the herbs if you have to make a big amount. The yam is amazing in flavor, and worth a try. If you can find all ingredients, try it at home, this recipe is set for 8 portions.




 

THAI HERBAL SALAD
