Yesterday I had a salad with peanut butter dressing…. I ate until the last drop of that amazing dressing. I’ve never made it by myself, I’m going to try, thanks for the recipe!
The peanut butter dressing is easy to make, I just put everything in the blender. This recipe makes quite a bit of dressing so you will have plenty to store in the refrigerator. The only thing I found is that I had to thin it out with a bit of water when I came to use it the next day. I hope you like the dressing!
My kind of salad, light and packed with all that peanuty goodness. Your salad is gorgeous with all those colors and it looks like it has a ton of crunch too. Delicious!
