How Do You Serve This Recipe?

This recipe can be served as a side salad or as a main dish. It's best when served shortly after making it and topped with a handful of chopped peanuts. This recipe makes about 3 servings as a main dish or 5 - 6 servings as a side salad.

Why Is My Peanut Dressing Too Grainy/Not Smooth?

If you find that your peanut sauce is not smooth, try stirring it for longer. You'll want to stir it until the peanut butter completely incorporates and dissolves. You should also use creamy peanut butter (preferably a no-stir creamy peanut butter).

What Other Salad Dressings Can I Use?

To make sure that your salad is fully coated in the peanut sauce, use two forks or tongs to toss your salad (instead of stirring with a spoon). This helps distribute the sauce and mix up the veggies.
