Thai herb shaved pork salad is an easy recipe that I'd love to share with everyone. It is another way to enjoy the meat instead of making sandwiches, tacos, or western style salad. This Thai-inspired shaved pork salad is perfect mouth-watering if you like something light, crisp, and savory. The salad recipe is not anything different/strange from typical Thai salad.

Three Musketeers in Thai Salad Dressing
Salad is one of Thais' favorite dishes, according to the heat, hot, and humid weather in Thailand. Not all Thai people don't eat Thai salad because they want to stay in shape, they eat it because of the taste of the salad. The savory taste and fresh herbs in the salad make them feel fresh after being in hot weather.
It is so simple to make a typical Thai salad. First of all, you can pick your choice of protein from red meat to chicken to seafood or tofu. Then, you can add carbs like glass noodles, brown rice vermicelli, or rice noodles (kha-nom jeen). Lastly, you can mix and match your herb choices from mints to basil to fresh chopped ginger to cilantro to lemongrass, almost anything you can think of. However, there are three main ingredients: Thai peppers, fish sauce, and fresh lime juice when it comes to the dressing. These three ingredients are "must-have" ingredients.
**** You can substitute fish sauce for soy sauce in case you are a vegetarian/vegan.****

Choice of Vegetables and Herbs for Thai Herb Shaved Pork Salad
Don't overthink when it comes to the choices of vegetables and herbs that you are going to put in the salad. The key is to pick a few herbs that would give the aroma and texture to the salad, and the second is to pick fresh fruits that would give a natural sweetness/tardiness to the dish. So in this recipe, I choose something that easy to find in any grocery store which are Persian cucumber (or any seedless cucumber), green onion, shallot (or purple onion), and mint leaves.
