The fierce-sounding "Tiger Salad" from North-eastern China is just a playful name for this bold, spicy and refreshing dish that'll startle a languid palette with its loud flavours. The two standout ingredients are chili peppers and cilantro, but if you find its bite intimidating you can use only enough red chilis to make it purr like a kitten.

<br />Each Sunday I post a classic Chinese salad recipe on Food52, which I tweak and standardize so it's all-natural (no MSG!), easy to make and enjoyable for the traditional and noob palate alike. Each recipe can be enjoyed as a "Western-style" salad, by consulting my leafy greens pairing suggestions; or of course eaten straight-up the Chinese way as a cold starter or side dish.
