Thai salad
1 papaya, peeled, seeded and finely sliced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely sliced
1/2 mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 passion fruit, seeds removed
1 pomegranate, seeds removed (use a bowl of water)
1 chili pepper, finely sliced
20 g cashew nuts, halved
1 bundle cilantro, roughly chopped
1 avocado, diced
a little lime juice
Thai Pesto
20 g cashew nuts
30 g red curry paste
1 dl sunflower oil
a little fresh ginger, finely grated
Thai Vinaigrette
200 g palm sugar
200 ml fish sauce
100 g lime juice
100 g cherry tomatoes
1 chili pepper

Preparation

  1. Grill Cheese

    Cook the grill cheese on the grill (a grill mat is recommended) or in a skillet, searing both sides for about 3 minutes until it has a nice brown crust.

  2. Thai Vinaigrette

    Bring palm sugar and fish sauce to a boil, then let it cool. Blend lime juice, cherry tomatoes, and 1 chili pepper. Pour the Thai vinaigrette into a lidded bottle and set aside. Meanwhile, sear the grill cheese coins in a skillet until golden brown and crispy.

  3. Thai Pesto

    In a mortar, combine the red curry paste, cashews, and sunflower oil. Grate some fresh ginger and grind everything thoroughly. Set the pesto aside.

  4. Thai Salad

    Prepare all the salad ingredients and place them in a large bowl with the pomegranate seeds. Add the avocado last and drizzle with a little lime juice. Toss the salad with the pesto and vinaigrette, adjusting the amounts to your taste and spice preference.

  5. Arrange on a plate and top with 1-2 «Der scharfe Maxx» Grill Cheese coins. For an extra kick of heat, swap «Der scharfe Maxx» Grill Cheese for the spicy «Füürtüfel» Grill Cheese. Garnish the plate with fresh herbs and a lime wedge.

Tip: To keep the salad crisp, mix in the Thai pesto and vinaigrette just before serving.
