Thai Lime Salad with a Sesame Lime Dressing

Thai Lime Salad with a Sesame Lime Dressing

Apr 07, 2025

With autumn officially here and cooler nights – it doesn’t mean we need to let go of the crisp salad feeling! This Thai Lime Salad with a Sesame Dressing is the perfect kickstart to our lime season. It is crunchy, tasty, and filling. Limes are versatile and used extensively in Southeast Asian, Mexican, Indian and West Indian cuisine. 

We like to add chopped chilli and delete the tahini. The salad reminds us of Thailand.
