Spice up your weekday lunch with This Thai Inspired Salad
I have an addiction… to Thai peanut sauce. I simply can’t get enough of it. The nutty, salty, spicy, and slightly sour flavor profile makes my tastebuds dance. Considering my love of belly dancing, if a food can make my tastebuds dance as much as my belly, we’re in business!
This healthy Thai Peanut Edamame and Carrot Salad truly highlights my favorite part of the dish – the sauce, of course! It’s also a great workweek salad to-go that keeps fresh for days and is easy to pack. For an extra kick, try with the Sassy’ n Sizzling Sichuan Chili Oil.
