Raw Thai Salad Recipe with Sriracha-Cilantro Dressing
This colorful Thai salad is a satisfying spring entrée-in-a-bowl. Sweet, crunchy vegetables are tossed in a heavenly spicy peanut butter sauce. It was inspired by two classic Asian dishes: pad Thai and soba with peanut sauce.
Because of the peanut butter sauce, this Thai salad is both hearty and substantial, but if you want to bulk it up even more, add chopped cashews to the final mix. For more protein, edamame beans or poached chicken breast would also be a nice addition.
Feel free to substitute any preferred nut butter for the peanut butter here. And the sauce is more of a template than a hard recipe you need to follow. For spicier results, add more Sriracha and less lime juice. For less spice, do the opposite.
