A hearty, healthy salad is one of the most satisfying warm-weather dinners.
This salad is full of crisp lettuce, crunchy veggies and peanuts, and spicy Asian flavor. The combination of radishes, sugar snap peas, cucumbers and peanuts is just a little bit unique, and tastes incredibly fresh.
I found this recipe on Bon Appetit and knew that I had to make it as soon as possible. It didn’t disappoint. I served this for Easter dinner with sirloin steaks and a beer quick bread for a hearty meal, but this salad could easily be a meal on its own- just add some protein as per the original recipe.
This salad is not only delicious, but wonderfully healthy. You will feel good after eating this, I promise!
