This deceptively simple salad is quick to prepare and thoroughly delicious. The dressing is light but adds a distinct punch of flavour that really makes the vegetables shine. The chopped peanuts add a nice layer of extra crunch to every mouthful.

Enjoy!

    The carrot and cauliflower salad sounds and looks delicious. I will have to add to my dressings as I do not have, as yet, any Thai ingredients in our house. There is a first time for everything..

    I love this twist on these side dishes. It’s something more appetizing than just steamed vegetables on the side.

    Yum, I love asian salads, and that dressing sounds fantastic. I would probably do almonds instead of peanuts and snap peas instead of celery, but I can’t wait to try this dressing.

    This sounds like a healthy salad. I have never made a dressing with cocoanut milk. However, I have started buying cocoanut milk and I am eager to try this out. Thank you for this recipe.

    I was very intrigued with the dressing for this carrot and cauliflower salad. Most salad dressings contain more sugar and fat than I think is necessary. This dressing sounds light and delicious. I will have to try it and see for myself. Thank you for this recipe.

    This all looks really delicious and I especially like the ingredients in the salad but I’d probably add a little more nuts and seeds plus a few more veggies
