Thai Tomato Salad Recipe
Description
This Thai Tomato Salad centers on fresh tomatoes cut into wedges and spicy, thinly sliced bird's eye chilies. Fresh cilantro adds herbal brightness, while a dressing made from fresh lime juice, fish sauce, and water balances tangy, salty, and mild diluting flavors. The ingredients are combined and allowed to rest at room temperature, which helps meld the flavors without wilting the tomatoes excessively.
The salad is characterized by its crisp tomato texture paired with the heat of the chilies and the acidity of lime juice. A slotted spoon is recommended for serving to help drain excess liquid. Due to its fresh ingredients, the salad is best consumed soon after preparation to maintain texture and flavor.
Storing the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day is possible but may cause the tomatoes to become soggy. This salad complements spicy, grilled, or fried dishes where a refreshing counterbalance is desired.
Ingredients
- 3 tomato cut into bite-sized wedges, medium
- 2 Thai bird's eye chilies, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- lime juice juice of 2 limes
- 1/8 cup fish sauce
- 1/8 cup water
Instructions
- Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Let rest at room temperature until ready to serve. Use a slotted spoon for serving.
Notes
- Enjoy the salad fresh to retain tomato texture; refrigeration can cause sogginess within a day.
- Serve using a slotted spoon to drain excess juices.
