The peanut sauce for this delicious, colorful salad is equally yummy served with grilled chicken or shrimp or as a dip for fresh veggies. You'll be making it over and over again. It takes just minutes to come together thanks to using the blender and is made with peanut butter, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, scallions, ginger, and salt. This recipe calls for a salad of Napa cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, and cilantro, but you can definitely use any type of crunchy veg you have on hand, or use shredded turkey instead of the chicken. Experiment with this extremely versatile recipe as much as you'd like.
