  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil
  • 1 bunch snake beans

  • 1⁄2 bunch Thai basil leaves picked

Directions

Passionfruit Dressing

  1. Remove pulp from passionfruit.
  2. Remove stems from kaffir lime leaves and chop very finely.
  3. Whisk passionfruit pulp, kaffir lime, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and grated ginger until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Check for seasoning to make sure there is enough saltiness, sweetness and acidity

Thai Turkey Salad

  1. Slice turkey breast into 1cm thick pieces. Thoroughly wash coriander, pick and reserve leaves. Roughly chop remaining roots and stems and place in a mortar and pestle along with garlic and salt. Pound into a smooth paste, then mix with olive oil and coat turkey generously. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Cut snake beans into 3cm batons and blanch for 30 seconds, then drain and allow to cool. Slice avocado and cucumber, chop chilli. Roast cashews until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool.
  3. Place turkey under a hot grill and cook for about 3 minutes on either side, or until cooked through.
  4. For the salad, mix snake beans, avocado, cucumber, chilli, cashew nuts, bean sprouts with half the dressing. Spread on a wide flat serving plate and top with turkey, basil and coriander leaves and a sprinkling of crispy shallots. Drizzle over remaining dressing and serve immediately.
