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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro. Toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the vegetables are well coated.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
  5. 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.
