Refreshing Sweet and Spicy Jicama Salad (Vegan) image

I made this as a side dish with some grilled basil chicken and spicy Italian chicken sausages; it was perfect! If you don't like spicy food, just cut back on the Thai chiles. My boyfriend and I loved it!

SPICY MEXICAN SALAD (VEGAN WITH RAW OPTION)

Spicy Mexican Salad (Vegan With Raw Option) image

This originated from an article in Common Ground magazine. If you use sprouted lentils it's 100% raw. To do that you obviously have to plan ahead, so cooked/tinned black beans are a great sub. This salad is super healthy, fresh and tastes great! Serve immediately after preparing, or chill for up to two hours.

GREEN PAPAYA SALAD (SOM TUM) (VEGAN W/ RAW OPTION)

Green Papaya Salad (Som Tum) (Vegan W/ Raw Option) image

This is a very popular salad in Thailand. This is a vegetarian version and quite spicy. You can buy shredded green papaya but you can do this yourself as well. This is traditionally made with a large mortar and pestle but you can just use a strong spatula. Cook time is marinating time. Serve along with sticky rice. (Note: pregnant women should not eat green papaya or at least research & take caution!!!)

1 garlic clove
6 long green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 -2 chili pepper

Steps:

If using fresh papaya peel and deseed it (use the seeds for dressing!) and then shred or cut into matchsticks. You can use a grater, spiralizer, mandolin or by hand.
Mortar & pestle: Smash a clove of garlic first, add green beans & halved cherry tomatoes. Pound a few times to bruise the beans & get the juice out of the tomatoes. Add chili peppers & crush them to release the hotness. Add the green papaya, toasted peanuts, soy sauce, lime juice & sugar. Use the pestle to push the mixture up in the mortar and the spatula to push it down so that the mixture is mixed well.

Let flavors marinate for at least 30 minutes. Garnish with basil and serve with sticky rice.
