This kale and celery tiger salad is a vibrant, dairy-free dish that brings a punchy Southeast Asian flare to your table. Inspired by the traditional northern Chinese 'lao hu cai', this version swaps classic peppers for hardy kale and crunchy celery, creating a robust base that stands up beautifully to the bold dressing. The combination of fresh lime juice, salty fish sauce, and fragrant herbs like Thai basil and mint creates an incredible depth of flavour that is both salty and sour.
Perfect as a refreshing side dish for grilled meats or as a standalone light lunch, this salad is packed with nutritious greens and aromatic herbs. The addition of crispy sev or roasted seeds provides a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the tender leaves. You can even prepare the dressing a day in advance, making this a convenient option for quick weekday entertaining or a healthy homemade meal.
