Bowl of Asian Salad with Peanut Butter Dressing

The peanut butter dressing in this Asian style salad is sweet, salty, sour and just slightly spicy. It makes this dish so delicious and addictive you'll want to have this salad every day of the week! 

This salad can be enjoyed as a light meal or you can add some protein like grilled chicken, shrimp or even tofu to make this a more substantial dish.

Large bowl with shredded carrots, red pepper, sugar snap peas, bean sprouts, chopped cilantro for an Asian Salad.

There are many ingredients in this salad. And though it takes a bit of time to prepare, it does make a lot and will last a few days (without the dressing) in the refrigerator.  It's really perfect for prepping healthy work lunches.

The recipe makes quite a bit of peanut butter dressing, make sure to keep it refrigerated and it will last for days. You can use the leftover peanut butter dressing to top these easy Chicken and Vegetable Lettuce Bundles.

      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!
