I can’t get enough of chopped vegetable salads. They’re filling from the dietary fiber in vegetables, they’re crunchy and flavorful, they save well in the refrigerator, and they’re a great way to use up leftover vegetables from the week.

This one bowl Thai salad is made up of spiralized carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage, diced green onions, chopped cilantro, peanuts, and the most delicious peanut dressing. If you want to add more protein to this salad, I suggest tossing in some chopped edamame, quinoa, or some shredded chicken.

The Thai salad is so colorful, the Thai peanut dressing recipe is perfectly balanced with sweetness and umami saltiness. Spiralizing vegetables makes this salad come together quickly and easily and looks much prettier than a traditionally sliced or chopped vegetable salad.

  • Can you swap for almond butter? And coconut aminos? Andddd drop the honey? I know drastic changes but I’m desperate for a Whole 30 version of this!
    • Danielle, I always swap coconut aminos for soy sauce/tamari in any recipes! I have never noticed any lack in deliciousness ;)
    • Hi Danielle! We haven't tried these but would definitely think these would be great substitutions! Give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
  • Oh I was looking for a recipe like this when i was making my lunch salad for today. I like the addition of sesame oil - will try that next time.
    • Hi Gillian! Let us know if you give this a try! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
  • Just following up to my post of making it Whole30 friendly. I did just that and it was delicious! I subbed compliant almond butter, coconut aminos and dropped the honey. Seriously so good! Thank you :)
    • Great ideas!
