5-Minute Green Curry Salad

There’s a battle going on over here.

It’s hot out.

I want to bake and I don’t want to bake. And I want to bake. Wahh.

Then again, do I really want to turn on the oven when we live in a cute little house with no air conditioning? 

I have a few really good books that have been collecting dust over in the corner. They’re calling for me and a cold, non-baked glass of strawberry lemonade.

See how nice that would be?

But listen – can’t you hear those brownies calling for me? Don’t lie. I know you can.

Time for this curry salad to swoop in and save my from my baking addiction! I adore this salad for three reasons.

  1. It tastes sweet, spicy, and amazing all at the same time.
  2. It takes me 5 minutes to make.
  3. It doesn’t use the oven!

Make it today. And tomorrow. And for the rest of the summer.

And I probably won’t be able to hold off the baking urge much longer, so get your oven mitts ready!

    I made this last night! My grocery store didn’t have green curry paste so I used red and it was just as amazing. Your recipe didn’t say where to add the vinegar but I assumed it was in the sauce mixture so I just added it to that at the beginning before whisking. I also added some tofu! SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this today and we loved it. Not hot. I was expecting heat from the curry paste but it was mild and just delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Hi Lindsay,
    What kind of vinegar do you recommend and do you whisk it together with
    the coconut milk, sour cream, sugar, green curry paste, and curry powder?
    Thank you!

      Just plain white distiller vinegar. And I think it would be fine to whisk it all together. 😉

    Looks like a yummy salad. I have a family member who is allergic to coconut, what can I substitute for the coconut milk?

      Maybe some light yogurt? Or for a non-creamy version, you could do a mixture of oil and vinegar.

    If you bake bread pudding with sauce you can pick up the a/c unit from the garage the next time you visit Indy. Just don’t tell my hubby.
