Thai style dressing that is really easy to make. Its bright green colour and zinging flavours can liven up any dish instantly.
Thai style dressing
I used a mini blender to blitz the ingredients but a processor could be used if the quantity of the ingredients were increased. For a simple idea of how you can use this tasty Thai style dressing; check out my Thai style hake with dauphinoise sweet potatoes recipe.
Thai style salad
I love a refreshing Thai salad with plenty of mango and papaya and this dressing is great as a topping or to serve on the side. If I’m serving up a spicy dish its great to have a mango salad alongside to help cool things down if necessary 🙂
Thai green curry
When I want my Thai dressing to be the star of the show I’ll make a Thai green curry with Homemade Thai green paste. Very much like this Thai dressing the Thai green paste can be put together in a few minute by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blitzing until smooth.
Both the Thai dressing and the Thai paste will keep well in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before using.

Instructions
To make the Thai dressing:
- Use a small blender to blitz together the oil, ginger, lemon juice, chilli, coriander and kaffir lime leaves. If dressing appears too clumpy add more oil and blitz again until desired consistency is reached. And thats the dressing done. So quick and easy :-).
