This Thai Summer Slaw from Cooking Light is summer perfection. It combines napa cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumber, bell peppers, carrots, radishes, jalapeno, and green onions in a light, slightly spicy dressing. It is crunchy, flavorful and completely delicious.
I was planning on making this for a potluck dinner that we were going to attend, but I forgot to buy a lime. I debated going ahead and making it with lemon juice instead, but I decided to wait, buy the lime and follow the recipe. I'm glad I waited! I don't think lemon would have given the dressing the right flavor.
The day I was planning on making this for dinner, I prepped all the veggies (the photo above) and the dressing and kept them in the fridge until I was ready to serve it. Cutting all the veggies took a little bit of time, but getting that out of the way earlier in the day really made this a fast and easy dish to serve. I grilled some tuna steaks to serve along with it and it was a really great dinner.
Here is the recipe for Thai Summer Slaw
* I only added a 3/4 tsp of sugar to the dressing

Wow- the colors all look so beautiful and fresh!
Love these kind of salads! Can't wait to make this.
This looks wonderful. I know what I'm making this week.
Wow, this has got to be a party in the mouth! I do love Thai flavors. Napa is so yummy. This will be on the menu this week. Thanks.
I've been on a thai salad kick, but I've never tried adding jalapenos- I'm going to try that.
