Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

In a shallow, rimmed serving dish, whisk together all the ingredients for the peanut sauce until completely smooth and velvety: smooth peanut butter, soy sauce (or Tamari), rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, lime and a squeeze of sriracha (if using). If it feels a bit thick, add a splash of boiling water to loosen it up (how much it needs will depend on how runny your peanut butter is). Spread over the bottom of the serving dish.

Delicious and very quick. Prepare sauce and dressing ahead of time.

This was amazing. However, because I live in a third world nation. All fresh vegetables need blanching or peeling to control for cyclosporiasis. I peeled the cucumbers, ginger and garlic. I blanched/wilted the cilantro with boiling water. Decided I didn’t want to peel radishes but had rocket in my garden and add that to the salad. Was still amazing.
