Even though I love being in the kitchen, I like to save time whenever possible. One way that I do this is by making salad dressings ahead of time and using them throughout the week. When I made my Raw Rainbow Pad Thai recipe the other day, I made a big batch of the creamy, delicious, Thai peanut dressing that goes with it. This really came in handy when I came home ravenous after a Whole Foods to Costco to HEB to Petco errand excursion this afternoon and was able to throw this salad together in less than 10 minutes. Not only is this salad super easy to prepare, it is also delicious and nutritious! It's the perfect make-ahead recipe to take to work or school for lunch. Enjoy!
