This Easy Crunchy Thai Vegan Peanut Salad takes about 15 minutes to throw together and tastes fresh, crunchy, nutty and is filling as hell!
I love summer and warm days, because just eating a bowl of flavoursome salad packed with goodness on a hot day is just so satisfying.
This Crunchy Thai Vegan Peanut Salad salad is perfect for meal prep!
When it’s hot outside and you don’t want to eat warm food for lunch at work, or even at home, this salad is the perfect meal prep to get done.
You can easily warm this salad in the microwave, or on the hob, for a less crunchy option, and of course, a nice warmth! But this is a personal preference.
Making The Crunchy Peanut Salad:
You will need the following ingredients:
1. Fresh Veggies
2. Condiments
3. Chickpeas
4. Spices
5. Herbs
A dressing is made with the peanut butter, spices and other ingredients, then you coat all the crunchy veg with the peanut dressing and chickpeas.
I like to leave the mixed salad with the dressing in the fridge for about an hour before consumption, because this helps the flavours to mingle. But this is optional.
Voila!
