Sweet & Spicy Fresh Thai Salad

This is one of those simple delicious salads that I so enjoy. Full of fresh flavors including mango, cucumber, carrots, tomato, cilantro and topped with a simple dressing that is lightly sweet, salty & spicy...a bit of everything. It will leave you feeling fresh and energized. Be warned it is slightly addicting!

  I haven't given amounts to use, just use however much or little as you want. I You can add/subtract whatever you want. I think pineapple would be a nice addition as well, ever red bell pepper, papaya, spring onions or parsnips in place of the carrots. The flavors of the simple dressing will go with many tropical fruits and a wide variety of vegetables. Have fun experimenting!
