There’s nothing quite like diving into crisp salad greens with crunch fresh vegetables. Just like my friend likes to say, “Sometimes I could use a good walk and a nice salad.”
This salad was a quick dinner using several bits and pieces found in my fridge from recipes past. I’m a huge fan of chicken satay with peanut sauce. So when I came across this dressing in a past issue of Cooking Light magazine, I knew it was going to be a yummy meal.

1 head leaf lettuce, roughly chopped

This is on my lunch menu next week – thanks Cory! Except I am going to add grilled chicken and use my spicy peanut butter – yum!
Peanut sauce is so good! I like the sound of a salad dressing version!
I always find peanut dressing pleasing to toss salads. I just made this recipe last night. I also added some diced cucumbers, avocado and cayenne pepper, too. But I can’t help to add some cooked little pieces of chicken in it.
Will definitely make again. My non-salad eating family member appeared to enjoy it too, which is always a bonus. Thanks!
Cory, this looks amazing. I recently had a delicious kale salad with peanut dressing that was insanely good. This looks like the perfect quick meal, especially on a warm night.
