The Art of Making Lao/Thai Spicy Seafood Salad Photo Recipe

Lao Spicy Seafood Salad

Hello my Socialites! Tonight's Recipe is courtesy of my good friend Mani Nanthalangsy. This is a Thai/Lao spicy seafood salad she made for dinner tonight. Below you will see that this salad is packed full of spice and sour flavors. You can also vary the ingredients to your preference. I added in some ingredients in the recipe below that Mani didn't add to her recipe due to her taste. If you like tomatoes, add it. If you don't care too much for lettuce, don't add it but I like both and if I have it handy, I will add it in. Thanks again Mani for making another delicious Lao/Thai recipe and sharing it with us! I hope ours is as good and spicy as yours! Let me know if anyone attempts this dish. Remember, even if you do not prefer spicy, it's ok. Just add a little bit of the pepper. The great benefits of cooking is that you are the head chef and you get to control the amount of spice that goes into it. Enjoy!

Chicken Scaloppine Di Pollo Photo Recipe


Estimated cost per serving $3.00
Hello my Socialites! I introduced this Scaloppine Di Pollo Recipe awhile back ago in another social platform and am reintroducing it to my readers. If you ever been to Macaroni Grill and had their Scaloppine dish there, this is pretty much the same technique. I haven't eaten there in a number of years but it has been my favorite dish to order when I was a regular customer.

So I am bringing this dish back to my Food For Thought section. This is an easy dish to make if you take your time. The ingredients and instructions are simple. I included step by step pics instruction for your convenience. This is my own version of how I  make this dish. Let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!                  


Bon Appetit!
