Summer recipes continue..thought I'll make a Thai flavoured pineapple salad, instead of the raw papaya version . The lady I learnt thai cooking from in Thailand taught me that for getting the best flavours always make any paste/dressing in a mortar/pestle..who has the time really ;( I every time notice the difference in the taste due to this factor. Nonetheless, make up for the time factor by using really fresh ingredients..bottled dressings etc are a strict no-no in my kitchen ! To add to the presentation , you can serve this salad in the pineapple outer shell ..
2 cups chopped pineapple
1 cup steamed corn
1 small capsicum, diced
For the dressing
1/3 cup roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 inch Galangal ginger piece
1 teaspoon crushed white pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maggi seasoning sauce
Salt to taste
1. Blend all the ingredients for the dressing till the peanuts are coarsely ground.
2. Toss in with the pineapple,corn and capsicum.
3. Serve chilled ,garnished with basil leaves and peanuts.
