The peanut sauce dressing is light, and refreshing, and has a bit of a bite. I love the ginger, cilantro, and citrus notes, and adding fresh veggies always get me excited about anything I’m making. Try this salad, without chicken, as a side, or have it for the main event by adding cooked diced chicken breast before you toss it.

1 c. broccoli slaw

1 c. shredded carrots

3/4 c. cooked quinoa
