Instructions

  1. 1

    The roots of fresh coriander (a.k.a. cilantro) provide a slight herbal note to curry pastes, but are unfortunately hard to find in the US, as they are often cut off from the stems before going to market (though local farmers markets in the summer and fall often have coriander with the roots still attached). Coriander roots can also be found at Southeast Asian markets. If you cannot find coriander roots, substitute with stems from 10 sprigs of fresh cilantro, cut into 1-inch pieces, or omit entirely.

  2. 2

    You can adjust the spiciness of this salad to suit your taste by reducing or increasing the amount of fresh Thai chiles in the dressing and in the salad.
