Thai Peanut Salad Dressing "Salad Kaeg"
Ingredients
  • Peanut Dressing
  • 6 to 7 large dried chilies, seeds removed
  • ⅓ cup chopped shallots
  • 7 to 8 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup roasted peanuts (it’s best to buy raw peanuts and roast them yourself because the flavour is so much better! I'm including roasting instructions below.)
  • 4 to 6 Tbsp tamarind juice (tamarind concentrate)
  • 3 Tbsp palm sugar, finely chopped, packed
  • ¾ tsp salt (you can also use fish sauce if not making this vegetarian)
  • Options for the Salad
  • note: Note: These are all classic components of a salad kaeg, but feel free to change things up! My only tip is that because the dressing is rich, make sure you have some sturdy veggies in the mix.
  • Greens: any kind you like, but I recommend including sturdy leaves such as iceberg lettuce and baby spinach in the mix. Delicate greens alone will not hold up well under the rich dressing.
  • Cucumber
  • Tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
  • Carrots
  • Boiled eggs (boil for 9 minutes for large eggs)
  • Fried firm tofu (fry in 350°F oil until golden brown)
  • Potato chips or fried potato sticks
  • Fried shallots (you can buy fried shallots from Asian grocery store, but I much prefer making my own. See instructions in my fried chicken recipe here)
