This Salad is Addicting
Warning! This Thai Peanut salad recipe is addicting. 🙂 I tested multiple versions of this recipe, and we gobbled up every bit of it. The combination of the fresh chopped veggies, peanuts, and the slightly spicy, salty, sweet peanut dressing is what makes this so good. It's got some crunch from the peanuts and cabbage, so it is just so satisfying and GOOD.
Easy To Make
Simply shred/chop your veggies and toss them with the salad ingredients. Make this a Thai chicken salad by adding 12 to 16 oz of chopped cooked chicken.
Healthy Low Carb Keto Salad
Using coconut aminos and a sugar substitute like monk fruit or erythritol, this Thai salad with peanut dressing is a perfect low-carb, sugar-free, and keto salad recipe. It has so much flavor - it's filling and satisfying - all of which will help you stay on track!
If you want to lower the carbs even further, you could use half the peanuts and green onions. It will reduce the net carbs a couple of grams per serving and shouldn't compromise the taste too much.

Thai Salad Recipe top tips
- If using tamari or soy sauce, increase the sugar (or sugar substitute) by a ½ tsp, for a total of 1½ tsp. Coconut aminos was used in this recipe, and it is sweeter than tamari or soy.
- Every peanut butter brand is different. All-natural peanut butter that has not been refrigerated can be quite runny. This is what we used in this recipe. You may need to adjust the quantity of peanut butter or add a little liquid to accommodate any differences.
