Vegan Thai Salad with Sriracha Mayo
In May, we transformed into professional picnickers. Due to the warm temperatures and lots of sunshine, we started to have lunch and dinner outside. But not every dish works well for taking away and eating outside. So we developed a recipe that is quick to prepare, easy to transport, filling, but still a refreshing summer dish.
One of our favorite to-go recipes is Thai salad! A dish that is filling like a main course, but still as light as a salad. But above all: it tastes warm and cold and is easy to transport. You can, of course, also enjoy the Thai salad at home, or take it to work, in the park or at the lake in a screw-top jar or a to-go container. And you can vary the ingredients according to your mood, but also the season. We love mango for the sweetness, cucumber for the freshness, crisp carrots, hearty red cabbage and edamame, and soba noodles to satisfy our stomachs. We topped the salad with peanuts and spicy Sriracha mayo.
Speaking of mayo: We are very happy that [Byodo] (https://tinyurl.com/y6wktklw) supported us with this recipe. Byodo is a natural food company from Upper Bavaria, which produces organic products and pays attention to sustainable action and an environmentally friendly production. We used the [vegan mayo from Byodo] (https://tinyurl.com/ybhjmscj) as the basis for our Sriracha Mayo. It consists of 100% organic ingredients, is very creamy, and has a subtle taste. You can also use the Mayo for salads, as a grill dip or for burgers and sandwiches. You can find Byodo products in organic markets and online.
