Sometimes you’re in the mood for a simple salad – but with flavors that feel anything but basic. Or maybe you’re gearing up to host and want a dish that shows off a little range. Either way, this Thai Peanut Salad is a winner!
In less time than it takes to order your favorite fried rice, you can whisk together a bright, bold Thai Peanut Dressing that transforms any salad. Let’s take a look at how to use Greenswell Growers Tender Butter Blend.
We’ll start with the dressing. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, unseasoned rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and creamy peanut butter. This is where the sweet–savory magic begins.
Next, add fresh lime juice along with freshly grated garlic and ginger. Start whisking slowly until everything begins to come together, then keep going until the dressing is smooth.
Set the dressing aside, and let’s move on to prepping the veggies. Slice carrots, peppers, cucumbers, and green onions. And honestly, the sky’s the limit here – edamame, broccoli, radishes, cashews, sesame seeds…you could even add proteins like grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu…they all play beautifully in this bowl.
Now grab your Greenswell Growers Tender Butter Blend – bright, crisp, and greenhouse-grown to perfection. Layer the fresh greens, pile on your toppings, drizzle generously with the Thai peanut dressing, and in under 10 minutes you’ll completely forget about take-out.
Fresh, flavorful, fast – and way more fun than basic. Enjoy!
One more quick fun fact: the greens in the photo and video were five days past their “crunch by” date…and still this crisp. They really do last that long!
