Eating salad on a daily basis can work wonders for your skin, hair, weight, and overall health. That said, salad can get pretty boring really quickly if you’re just eating a bowl of mixed greens every day. Instead, liven things up with a flavorful Thai salad recipe like this.

A vibrant Thai salad like this one is a wonderful way to get your fill of veggies and fruits in. This Thai cucumber salad also features water-concentrated vegetables and fruits so that you’ll stay cool and hydrated during the day as well.

To create this colorful Thai salad, you’ll use cucumbers, avocado, and mango, which produces a meal that’s high in fiber content and perfect for keeping hunger at bay. To make this salad even heartier, you add in some noodles and create a Thai noodle salad, or go for a gluten-free option like quinoa and raw pumpkin seeds.

We love this Thai salad recipe because we can’t get enough of the tasty mix of sweet and savory, especially with the peanut dressing on top. The salty peanut butter flavor with the sweet mango flavor is something we find absolutely irresistible with this salad!
