Description
Peanut Crunch Salad is a crunchy and flavorful dish that combines fresh vegetables with a creamy peanut dressing, topped with roasted peanuts for added texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon water (to thin, if necessary)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro. Toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the vegetables are well coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
- For best flavor, let the salad sit for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Substitute the peanuts with cashews or sunflower seeds for a different crunch and flavor.
