Thai Crunch Salad with Peanut Dressing

Thai Crunch Salad with Peanut Dressing

by Pam on January 16, 2014

I saw this recipe on Once Upon a Chef [1]and thought it would pair nicely with the Honey, Lime, and Sriracha Chicken Skewers[2] and the Sesame Garlic Wilted Spinach[3] I was making for dinner. I adapted it a bit by using what I had on hand and we all loved it. It was simple to prepare and it tasted fantastic. We all, especially my kids, loved the peanut dressing – it was so delicious!  I will be making this salad again and again.

Combine the peanut butter, rice vinegar, lime juice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until it’s creamy and smooth. Taste and season with salt or more honey, if needed. Cover and set aside to let the flavors mingle.

Combine the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, cilantro, and wonton stirps, to taste, together in a large bowl. Drizzle the peanut dressing on top, to taste, then toss to coat evenly. Serve and enjoy.

Sesame Garlic Wilted Spinach

Sesame Garlic Wilted Spinach

by Pam on January 14, 2014

‘This was a quick and healthy side dish to go with the Asian meal I was serving for dinner. My kids tolerated this spinach only because they drowned it in seasoned vinegar – whatever works! My husband and I both loved the sesame flavor and I liked the slivers of garlic. You can’t beat a fast and easy side dish.

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and spinach then cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is nearly wilted. Remove from the heat then drizzle with the seasoned vinegar, to taste then sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
