My wife is Thai and in Thailand they have a whole class of dishes called “yam”(ยำ)* which is typically a salad (not in the leafy greens sense) typically dressed with fish sauce, lime, and chilis and commonly containing mint, onion, lemon grass, Chinese celery, along with a protein. And if you sub avocado for the protein it’s absolutely amazing.
I make guac with mint sometimes.
I can vouch for this.

* it’s the same ”yam” as Tom Yam (ต้มยำ) soup which translates to ”Boiled Yam”
