Skip the takeout and try our veggie-packed, Thai-inspired salad instead! It’s super flavorful and simple to make. Our secret ingredient? Powdered peanut butter! This pure, pulverized nut creation reduces the fat that comes with normal peanut butter but brings all the flavor to homemade sauces and dressings. For added heat, we have jalapeño peppers balanced with fresh mint to round out the Thai flavor profile. To complete the meal, serve this salad with grilled chicken breasts.
