21. Rose Petal Salad - Exquisitely Thai!

Beautiful & Scrumptious Rose Petal SaladD.Schmidt
Unique and sensuous - that's the only way to describe this tantalizing Thai salad! Roses are one of the most luxurious and delicious of edible flowers, and they make this dish especially beautiful, not to mention very gourmet. And it can also be made Vegetarian (see: Rose Petal Salad (Vegetarian). Create culinary waves by serving it at your next dinner party, or take it to a potluck or cookout. Chicken and shrimp provide adequate protein, while cucumber, spring onions, and fresh Thai herbs provide lots of greens. Star fruit adds a final touch of flavor, texture, and beauty to this most exquisite of salad recipes!

22. Orange Chicken Salad

This Thai Orange Salad is sensational! Wonderfully good, yet also very healthy and low in calories and fat. Makes for a perfect meal - either as an elegant lunch or a light and beautiful dinner. For this special salad, strips of chicken breast are marinated in a simple coconut-pepper marinade, then easily broiled in your oven or grilled on the barbecue (I usually broil mine). While the marinating and cooking is going on, you can quickly put together the salad dressing and garden greens. Pair with a glass of white wine, and this Thai Orange Chicken Salad makes for a truly fine dining experience!

23. Thai Pasta Salad (Low-Fat & Gluten Free!)

Low-Fat Thai Pasta Salad with Rice NoodlesD.Schmidt
Pasta salad - but with a twist. That's my new Thai-style pasta salad. Made with rice noodles (instead of wheat) and a flavorful Thai dressing, this healthy dish will prove a big hit at your next potluck, picnic, BBQ, or dinner party. Makes a great summertime salad, lunch, snack, or side dish that's also low in calories and fat, plus it's wheat and gluten free. It can also be made vegetarian (instructions included). Once you've tried it, you'll never go back to regular pasta salad again!

24. Grilled Shrimp Salad

This grilled shrimp salad is easy to make, and yet the taste is truly gourmet. For this recipe, I've combined classic Thai garlic grilled shrimp with a salad of mixed greens and herbs, all topped off with a cool coconut dressing that is fabulous on a warm summer day.

25. Fresh Papaya Salad with Prawns & Garden Greens

Fresh Papaya Salad with Prawns & Garden GreensD.Schmidt
If you're tired of the same boring salads, try my Fresh Papaya Salad with Prawns and Garden Greens. A complete meal in itself, this salad also works as an appetizer or side dish. Poured over the salad is a unique Thai dressing that is so good, you won't even notice it's low-fat. You'll definitely want to make extra to keep in the refrigerator for your regular tossed salads! Scrumptious!!
