Pad Thai Salad is filled with crunchy greens and vegetables and is topped with a tangy dressing that makes your mouth sing!
The surprise ingredient in this recipe is swiss chard and let me tell you it really makes this salad a winner. Along with the crunch of the swiss chard there is carrots, red cabbage, green onions, radishes and last but not least crunchy cashews.
The dressing is a soy honey vinaigrette with a hint of sriracha, the perfect combination for this salad. It’s best to top the Pad Thai Salad with the dressing and then let it sit for 20-30 minutes so the dressing can saturate the swiss chard.
You could easily add chicken to this recipe and make it a main dish rather than a side dish.
Enjoy!
