    Air fryer chicken wings, Thai pomelo salad, rice.

    That’s an interesting salad. What’s in it?
    I love salads and that one looks great!

    SE Asian salads are great and don't require oil in the salad dressings. Skip the oil in the recipe below by just buying roasted peanuts and ready made fried shallots from the Asian supermarket in the SE Asia department and logging those instead. I blitz dried shrimp in the food processor to a powder for adding to SE Asian salads.

    Thanks for the salad receipe.
    Had a picnic sat yesterday morning. I made it minus the peanuts. Due to allergies for some one there. But it was delicious
    Thank you!

    I see that the original recipe only uses coriander. I often add basil and mint too. Any SE Asian green herbs. Perilla leaf and sawtooth coriander if you can source them would be good too. If the peanut allergiic person can eat cashews, that's a common replacement in southern Thailand.

    Thank you, I wasn't aware of the peanut substitute. The mint and basil sounds good too

    I'm sure it was yummo...but I'd never know it was a 'carrot cake' sandwich...where are the carrots and nuts, etc.? :p

    No nuts, but there were definitely carrot pieces in the ice cream :)

    The most hilarious English translation, but surprisingly very tasty buns.

    Always wondered. Do you put the veg directly in the BBQ / grill or inside foil. Yours dish looks great.

    Cut the veg to similar size for even cooking. Toss in olive oil. I like to do this in a plastic bag. Salt and pepper to taste. Place directly in oven, BBQ or air fryer. No foil.

    @PaulChasinDreams - During the summer I make a similar blend of fresh veggies using the veggies and fresh basil from my garden. I like to add fresh (or sometimes frozen) corn in with the zucchini and tomatoes. It gives it an nice sweetness an crunch.

    Dinner tonight was Vietnamese beef stew (478 cals per portion) with baguette. Cooked all day in my slow cooker...the house smelt amazing when I got in from work!

    Dinner was not a success. Spinach sauteed with garlic and boiled new Jersey Royals tossed in butter were fine. Nothing can go wrong with some sliced tomato. Batch cooked freezer meatballs in leftover lower fat cheese sauce split when re-heated in the microwave. Cheese sauce was no fat cottage cheese, semi-skimmed milk, and grated mature cheddar blitzed together in the food processor.
