Broccoli Salad with a Thai Peanut Sauce

[Guest guest]

This is an amazing dish, and I'm not just saying that because I cooked it. =)

This is a dish that can definitely stand alone as a meal. Pictures of the

finished dish can be seen at my vegetarian blog: http://28cooks.blogspot.com

 

Broccoli Salad with a Thai Peanut Sauce

1/4 c chunky peanut butter

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tbsp hot water

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 1/2 tbsp oil

3 c fresh broccoli, in florets

1/2 c red bell peppers, julienned

1/2 c onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

hot sesame oil (optional)

 

In a blender or mini-food processor, combine peanut butter, sugar, water, lime

juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper flakes. Pulse until well blended and

set aside.

Heat oil over medium high heat in a wok. Add the vegetables and garlic, and

stir-fry for 4 minutes, or until tender crisp. At this point, I drizzled the hot

sesame oil over it. Remove from heat, place in a large bowl, and pour dressing

over it. Mix well and serve. This can be served either hot or cold. Either way,

I promise it's excellent!
