Thai Inspired Green Apple Slaw

Printable Version (Recipe Only)

I came up with this recipe on a night that we were having roast chicken with Thai sweet chili sauce and I had these super tart green apples that I couldn't get the family to eat alone. (Or with cheese. Or peanut butter. Or anything.)

I went with a som tum (Thai green papaya salad) inspiration, and it was quite tasty with the roast chicken! It would also go great as a side to satay or as a fresh roll filling.
