ASIAN SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING RECIPES

Steps:

• For the salad: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and let cool.
• Mix together the cooked spaghetti, carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, napa cabbage, purple cabbage and kale. Add the peanuts and toss together.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and mix together with tongs or your hands. If the salad seems a little dry, just mix up a little more of the wet ingredients of the dressing and throw it in. It's a very organic process.
• Transfer to a large platter and serve.

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients in a bowl or food processor.
• If using a bowl: SLOWLY drizzle in the sesame and peanut oil, whisking constantly so that the dressing will emulsify.
• If using a food processor, leave it running while you drizzle in the oil.
• When dressing is well combined, add sesame seeds and scallions.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate and use within a week.
