Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup bulgur
1 bag (10 oz) Cascadian Farm® frozen shelled edamame
1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and cut into thin bite-size strips
1/2 cup coarsely shredded carrot
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped honey-flavor dry-roasted peanuts
1 recipe Peanut Dressing (below)
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring broth to boiling; add uncooked bulgur. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Drain if necessary. Meanwhile, prepare edamame according to package directions.
  • Transfer bulgur and edamame to a large bowl; stir in sweet pepper, carrot, red onion, and cilantro.
  • Divide spinach among four serving plates. Top with bulgur mixture; drizzle with Peanut Dressing. Sprinkle with peanuts.
  • Peanut Dressing: In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup water, 3 tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and 1 clove garlic, minced. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat about 3 minutes or until smooth and slightly thickened (mixture will appear curdled at first but will become smooth as it's whisked over the heat). Makes about 2/3 cup.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut dressing, but I really enjoyed the dressing in this salad. It was creamy and flavorful, but not too heavy.

This Thai salad was a hit! The peanut dressing was creamy and flavorful, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. I added some grilled tofu for extra protein, and it was perfect.
