Hiiiiiii!  How does life feel like it gets busier and busier each and every month?  I don’t even know where April went.  If it wasn’t still technically April, I’d wonder if we just skipped over the entire month all together.

Anyway, did you check out the peanut sauce dressing earlier this week?  If not, be sure you do, because today I’m going to show you one of my favorite salads to smother with it.

I looove the fresh flavor of cilantro –  especially topped on Vegetable Pad Thai, in fresh salsa, or with any southwest flavors << in that salad, on tacos, the list could go on forever.  But even more than that, I love it with peanut sauce.  Somehow they’re the perfect pair, balancing each other out.  It’s like peanut butter and jelly, corn and butter, garlic and anything.

Let’s be honest, this salad was really just created for this combination.

In no time you’re gonna have this delicious, healthy, fulfilling lunch/dinner for you and whomever you decide you *might* share it with.  It’s healthy, but it is so good you might not want to share.  Cue feeling like a superstar when your delicious, fresh, real food dinner is ready in under 15 minutes.
