Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing

Low FODMAP Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing is a modified signature starter of the Thai restaurant favorite. Be sure to use common cabbage and not savoy cabbage. Iceberg lettuce can be replaced with butter lettuce. If you can tolerate kale (while low FODMAP, some people have a difficult time digesting kale due to the high fiber content), it is a really refreshing twist to the classic salad.

Feel free to sprinkle the salad with crushed peanuts.

The peanut dressing can also be used as dips for the Thai Summer Rolls in the Appetizers & Soups section or steamed vegetables.

Use a true Garlic Infused Olive Oil without garlic bits or powder in them.

      Made this Thai salad for company last night as starter with green curry. It was a real hit. Only difference I made garlic infused peanut oil instead of olive oil. I omitted the grape cherries and I forgot the crushed peanuts. I’ll definitely make it again, perhaps as a lunch stand-alone. My tummy thanks you very much.
