Tangled Thai Salad for ZWT-9 image

FRESH is a sml chain of Canadian-owned & operated restaurants, which originally began as a juice bar 20 yrs ago. Everything on their menu is vegan, altho they offer some vegetarian dishes at their takeout counter. They have published 3 cookbooks described as "for those relatively comfortable w/cooking (particularly vegan cooking)" & "with restaurant quality pretty much guaranteed". This recipe is FRESH's famous Tangled Thai Salad - 1 of their MOST requested recipes. FRESH uses a "spiralizer" to cut the carrot & yellow beets into super-long, thin strands that form a big round tangle of a salad, but a julienne peeler will give you nice long strands as well. If you have no spiralizer or julienne peeler, just cut the veggies into sticks as thin & long as you can. Said to serve "1 person as a complete meal", it also serves 2-3 as a side-salad. FRESH uses their "Salad Topper" w/this Thai salad, but I saw it as optional & have entered it as a separate recipe. This is a no-cook recipe & I have allowed 20 min for ingredient prep plus assembly. Enjoy!

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it the night before and it's just as good the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers and they worked perfectly in this salad.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too strong and the vegetables were not fresh.
