Wednesday, 15 August 2012. I can't think of a more refreshing way to finish off a hot day. Last night I decided to make a Thai salad.

The dressing is a typical Thai one, which consist of:. Juice of half a Lime. Palm sugar- about one tablespoon. Fish sauce One Tablespoon. Fresh chillies, chopped (I used three because I like it fiery).
