My Comments
Thank you to my friend Alice for sharing the recipe. I invited friends over at my place for dinner after work. This recipe is simple and ideal for a limited preparation time. I used peanuts instead of cashews and Sriracha sauce as chili sauce. I really like the taste of the salad dressing. I guess this is one of my favorite salads.
