Keeping things on the healthier side today with this colorful and flavorful Chopped Thai Salad.

Let's take a quick poll - just leave your answer in the comments - do we want more healthy recipes on the blog this time of year?? I feel like fall recipes are so often really decadent which I am 1000% okay with, but also I love a good healthy fall meal too. Thoughts? Leave them below.
This Chopped Thai Salad is LOADED with everything you need to keep things light and bright. Tons of veggies and a really light vinaigrette that you'll love. You could add some roasted salmon or chicken or steak if you want extra protein too. But brace yourselves, because you'll want 4 servings of this it's THAT good!! Have at it! xo

This salad was a fresh dinner hit tonight! Made a few substitutions (spinach instead of kale, almonds instead of cashews) just with what I had on hand. Fresh sourdough on the side 🙂
Honestly, a perfect salad. I'm not a huge mango fan so I usually leave it out and it still has a nice balance of flavors.
Healthy!!
