Ingredients

Salad
1 large head lettuce torn
2 medium tomatoes quartered
1 small red onion thinly
1 medium carrot thinly
1 each cucumber peeled, sliced
1 each tofu cakes cubed
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 small potato chips bag, or potato sticks, optional
Peanutcoconut milk dressing
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1 tablespoon red curry paste see recipe
2 cups peanut butter chunky, unsalted
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

SALAD: Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, carrot and cucumber in a salad bowl and lightly toss.

Add the bean curd and sprouts.

Top with the peanut- coconut milk dressing and garnish with potato chips.

DRESSING: In saucepan over medium heat, stir the coconut milk and red curry paste together until the mixture turns to a pale amber and a thin coat of oil appears on the surface.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir over a low heat for 7 to 10 minutes, or until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

The colour will be a pale cocoa brown.

Let cool to room temperature for 1 hour before serving with the salad.

The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a month, but it does have a tendency to thicken.

To bring it back to its correct consistency, add 1/2 ts to 1 tb white vinegar and stir vigorously.
