Thai potato salad
This wonderful dairy free Thai-inspired potato salad is jam packed with flavours and is a bold alternative to the more traditional potato salads. This potato salad will be a huge hit at your next barbecue or picnic, so be sure to make a little extra to meet the demand.

OMG I love it but I had to change a few things due to personal reasons. So I changed the chilli to Thai sweet chilli sauce, used fresh garlic and ginger and didn't use the coriander or peanuts for garnish... Instead I used avacodo on top.. But besides that everything was the same and OMG I wasn't expecting it to be so good! And my partner wasn't expecting it to taste good due to the smell from the fish sauce and he enjoyed it aswell and he's hard to please haha Thank you (: - 26 Apr 2015
Love anything Thai. Did a big bowl at a BBQ for friends and it was delicious. Much better than boring old potato salad. - 12 Sep 2013
