This tongue-tingly salad will take your taste buds through the roof, leaving you asking for more. The flavors of garlic and chili peppers cascade through each bite. You can make it as mild as you like but I prefer it extra spicy. If you ask me what is my favorite salad I would answer this one. I try to eat every day while I’m in Thailand.
