Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 cups chopped Napa cabbage or shredded coleslaw mix (I like to toss in a little shredded red cabbage for color)
1 cup prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a blender and process until completely smooth. Add the cilantro and blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Tips:

  • When choosing shrimp for the salad, look for ones that are fresh and have a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a pan over medium heat. Just be sure to cook them until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • To make the peanut dressing, use a high-quality peanut butter. This will give the dressing a rich and creamy flavor.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • When assembling the salad, be sure to use fresh herbs. This will give the salad a bright and flavorful taste.

Conclusion:

This Thai salad with peanut dressing is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavors is sure to please everyone at your table.
