Thai Iceberg Salad with Peanut Dressing
This is a balance of flavors: sweet, savory, tangy, earthy, with a bit of heat. Using chunky nut butter lends some texture but you can just as easily use a smooth nut butter for a smooth salad dressing. If you love satay then you will adore this. Feel free to use almond butter in place of the peanuts, if desired. Iceberg and cucumber provide a nice textural contrast to the creamy dressing while tomatoes bring bright acidic pops and carrots lend sweetness.
