Thai Green Apple Salad Recipe

These are available as 2 of our printable low glycemic index recipes. It is a perfect side dish for a Thai meal or if you add the tuna it will make a complete meal. A little dried shrimp added to the dressing gives it even more flavor. You can find dried shrimp at Asian markets or in a natural foods store. It keeps for a very long time in the refrigerator.

Serves 4

Toss all ingredients together with Thai salad dressing below.

This dressing is quite spicy and a little on the hot side so you may want to start with a teaspoon of chili paste and add more if you like the heat. This dressing will make enough for at least 2 salads.

There is a reason why Asian cuisine in general leads to very little body fat and very low risk of heart disease. Traditional Thai cooking as in most Asian cooking uses no dairy products and small portions of meat in a meal. Even though they eat lots of rice it is served with protein and lots of vegetables which reduces the glycemic index. Traditional Asian rice is an unrefined grain that contains essential nutrients. You can buy traditional Asian rice in an Asian or Thai market. Oriental cuisine includes many omega 3 foods, nuts, seeds and fish which burn fat.

There are highly beneficial effects of diets high in fresh vegetables and fruits with less meat. American diets are high in red meat consumption which is linked to a variety of health conditions including heart disease and cancer. You could eat brown rice or other whole grain rices other than white sticky rice on a low glycemic plan as long as you eat lots of vegetables and little meat with your meals. One I've seen in a Thai market is a mix of white rice with whole grain rice. Thai cooking is so flavorful and perfect for low glycemic eating. This salad goes well with any stir fry meat and vegetables.
