Thai-Style Peanut Cabbage Salad is a delightful combination of fresh and bold flavors that make it a perfect lunch or dinner dish. This salad is inspired by the Thai cuisine, which is known for its spicy and savory dishes. The brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and peanut oil dressing provides a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors that complement the crispiness and crunchiness of the veggies and chips. Roasted vegetable chips, such as Terra, are a healthier and tastier alternative to regular potato chips as they are made with real vegetables and no artificial preservatives. The addition of basil and chopped peanuts adds a layer of complexity and texture to the salad that makes it visually and sensorially appealing. This recipe serves 4-6 people and takes about 20 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook.
