Description
A refreshing salad inspired by spring rolls, featuring a mix of fresh vegetables and a creamy peanut sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup cooked shrimp or tofu, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, cooked shrimp or tofu, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the peanut sauce over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
- Top the salad with chopped peanuts for added crunch.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving for a refreshing taste.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with diced avocado or additional tofu.
- Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick or include other vegetables like snap peas or radishes for extra crunch.
