Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mixed salad greens such as romaine and spinach
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
For the dressing:
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1-2 tablespoons water to thin, if necessary

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, red cabbage, roasted peanuts, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to mix.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
