thai carrot salad

An easy, 30-minute Thai-inspired carrot and kale salad with a savory-sweet dressing and curried cashews! Flavorful, hearty, so delicious!

Thai Carrot Salad with Curried Cashews

garlic ((minced))

Tbsp coconut sugar ((or sub maple syrup))

lime juice

Tbsp pineapple juice ((optional // recommended for sweetness/tang))

Tbsp tamari ((or soy sauce if not gluten-free))

kale ((chopped // large stems removed))

tsp sesame or olive oil

carrot

red onion

Curry-Spiced Cashews

cilantro ((optional))

Add garlic, peanuts, and chilies to a mortar and pestle (or just mince very finely) and crush to make a paste. Then add coconut sugar and crush once more.

Add lime juice, pineapple juice (optional), and tamari and stir to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more coconut sugar for sweetness, tamari for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or crushed bird's eye chili for heat. Set aside.

To a large mixing bowl add kale and drizzle with a bit of olive or sesame oil and lime juice. Massage for 10-15 seconds to soften and remove some of the bitterness.

Add shredded carrot, red onion, cashews, and cilantro (optional). Then add dressing and toss to coat.

Serve immediately. If storing for later, store the cashews and dressing separately to keep fresh. Salad will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Dressing will keep for 5-7 days.

Exceptional! Made as written (with cashews) and it was delicious!

I think this is one of the best salads I have ever had!!

Sitting and eating this right now. So amazing! Have already shared recipe with some friends. I wanted something Thai and a salad. Googled it and when I saw this recipe from Minimalist Baker, I knew I had to try it. I have made other recipes from her and never been disappointed.

Phenomenal! So easy and delicious! We had leftover peanut sauce (from Easy Pad Thai) so I used that as the dressing. It was great! Loved the curried cashews to go with it. Fantastic summer supper!

This is my absolute favorite salad recipe EVER. It is so satisfying and delicious and the peanut dressing is HEAVEN. I use it for everything. Will make it again and agian and again... Thank you!

We made this with rainbow chard instead of kale which was slightly sautéed. We added some curried roasted chickpeas we had. Didn’t have chili so we used chili oil (homemade) and some chili flakes. We didn’t use pineapple just and subbed the lime for lemon but found it still have a pineapple like flavor. It was super tasty, loved the cashews! Will make again.

i don't know how you do it dana! another delicious, unusual  and interesting dish. i made this for my family and they loved it. i added bite size pieces of pineapple and i didn't have kale so i just used spinach and mixed leaves- so so tasty..... RIP to the days of dull, boring, romaine lettuce salads!!

Delicious!! I decreased the coconut sugar and didn’t use pineapple juice (just b/c we didn’t have it). So so yummy!! My husband said he’d order it in a restaurant and it was even better than the kale salad at one of our go to restaurants! 😉 That’s a win!
