Asian Chopped Salad with Peanut Dressing

A crunchy salad can be very satisfying. I’m typically a fast eater and I love how this Asian chopped salad slows me down so that I enjoy every bite. If you are looking for a crisp, refreshing salad that is wholesome and filling, you’ve found it!

The peanut dressing contains tamarind paste, which has proved tricky to find in the past but now seems to be available at most grocery stores. I picked up a 12 oz. jar of Aunt Patty’s Organic Tamarind Paste at my local Fresh Thyme in the Asian dry goods section. A little tamarind goes a long way, and that jar will probably last me a year.
