Chilled Thai bean salad is my recipe of the day. We’re combining the classic flavors of an American bean salad with the four core flavors of Thai cooking: hot, sour, salty and sweet.

I love Thai food so this is a natural crossover recipe for me. The sweet-sour complexity with the spicy heat  is something I love.

And for warm weather days when I don’t necessarily want a stir-fry, noodles or curry, this suits.
