A deliciously nutritious salad channeling some of my favorite Thai flavors, topped with a spicy sweet chili vinaigrette.

It's that time of year where candy, baked goods, casseroles and pot lucks are everywhere you turn. This year, I'm trying to stay on track by adding a little more fruits and vegetables to my meals during the holiday season.

One way I like to keep myself motivated is by making my recipes as visually appealing as possible. You know what they say, "You eat with your eyes."

Luckily, this Thai Salad with Sweet Chili Vinaigrette is beautiful to look at and delicious to eat!

Seriously, I can't stop making this salad.  It's over flowing with fresh romaine lettuce, crunchy vegetables and salty cashews. It's one salad that is anything but boring.  The addition of my simple, homemade sweet chili dressing is by far the BEST!

Thanks to Truvia Natural Sweetener, the dressing is easy to make, absolutely delicious and adds just the right amount of sweet and spicy to this dish.

For those of you that just thought of Truvia Natural Sweetener as a drink or dessert ingredient, think again!
