This is an easy-to-assemble salad with a rainbow of vegetables, perfect for lunch, dinner or in-between snacking. It is suitable for vegans and is also packed with fibre and plant protein. The variety of colors means that you will also be getting a variety of nutrients! The peanut ginger dressing gives it a flavorsome Thai flair.
The salad can be prepared within 15-20 minutes! I have added that the raisins are optional but they are a great balance to the curry powder and I would highly recommend you add them. Also, cashew nuts are a delightfully moreish garnish for any Thai-inspired salad, so those are also on my optional but highly recommended list for this salad.

The dressing is obviously going to look brown due to the Peanut Butter – at first I didn’t even want to add it to my colourful salad because I thought it would make the whole thing look brown BUT, as you can see from the photos, it still maintains its colour! Sjoe! So, don’t fear the dressing!
