At Thai restaurants, they have salads with a peanut flavored dressing.
Anyone have a good recipe?

Thx

these are peanut sauce ingredients I use ... add more dressing oil and
vinegar to make a slad dressing
I'd delete the PB and add crushed peanuts
peanut oil, coriander, ginger, a dash of hot sauce, lime juice and a
dash of mint, fresh ginger, some low-fat coconut milk, some crunchy
PB, soy sauce, lime juice, other spices and garlic to taste

This is from the revised _Moosewood Cookbook_. (It's my understanding that
this recipe didn't appear in the original edition.)

Moosewood Thai Salad

DRESSING
6 Tbs good peanut butter
1 cup boiling water
4 Tbs cider vinegar
1 Tbs sugar or honey
1 to 1 1/2 tsp salt
3 to 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
crushed red pepper or cayenne, to taste
2 tsp lemon or lime juice

Place the peanut butter in a small bowl. Whisk in the water, and beat well
until combined. Stir in remaining ingredients.


THE REST
1 medium head crisp lettuce (Romaine is good)
1 medium carrot, shredded or thinly sliced
1 small bell pepper, in thin strips
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced
2 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, in bite-sized chunks
2 medium (fist-sized) potatoes, boiled and sliced
4 to 6 hard-boiled eggs, cut in wedges
3 cakes tofu, plain or fried, diced
a small handful each (if available):
minced fresh cilantro, mint, and basil
optional: a handful of mung bean sprouts
*FUN OPTION* potato chips instead of, or in addition to, the boiled potato
slices.
Squeezable wedges of lemon or lime, for garnish

Pile up everything in a provocative yet compelling arrangement. Drizzle the
dressing on top.
