Thai Slaw

Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

After experiencing our dreary winter climate, I think its high time now for some colorful food that will renew our promise to prepare food for our family that's healthy and less “junky”. Here is one, and by the way it’s almost raw, too.

Remember, it's all about the taste! Chef Jyoti
