INSTRUCTIONS
This simple but rather exotic composed salad marries crisp fresh vegetables and smooth tofu with a spicy peanut dressing for an unusual Indonesian inspired taste. ~----------------- Steam the beans, cabbage and carrots for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp, and cool. Arrange the cooked vegetables, cucumber, sprouts and tofu on a serving platter. In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, water, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, salt, garlic and lemon peel; stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic and lemon zest. Stir in the yogurt. Serve the dressing warm over the salad. Lagniappe - One-quarter teaspoon of Tabasco sauce perks up any salad dressing. Use more for a spicier taste. From: The Tabasco Cookbook. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
