Thai-Inspired Caesar Salad Recipe

"I love easy salads & this Thai inspired caesar caught my eye on House of Annie.com. The recipe uses easy ingredients to make a garlicky dressing with a peanut twist. The fish sauce replaces the Worcestershire and anchovies in the original recipe"

directions

  • Thinly slice half a white onion and marinate it with the Italian dressing.
  • Hard boil 4 eggs. Cool, then peel the eggs. Separate the yolks from the whites. (Chop the whites up and add them to the salad.).
  • Make the dressing: Mash the egg yolks in a bowl. Add the garlic, peanut butter, mayonnaise, water, fish sauce, and Italian dressing. Stir well to combine. It should be a smooth sauce, with very little lumps. Add the marinated onions to the dressing. Add in the sugar, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired balance of sweet to tart.
  • Lightly toss the lettuce, egg whites, cilantro, and fried won ton noodles together with the dressing. Add the chicken if using.
  • Plate on serving plates & drizzle with the dressing.

  1. Fantastic dressing! We absolutely loved it, and I'll make it again often. Thanks for sharing! Made for For Your Consideration Game
     
  2. This was such a tasty salad. And after the scorching hot day we had today, I didn't feel like heating the house further by heating up something in the oven. So I made this salad in the afternoon and kept it in the fridge to chill. The dressing was simply wonderful with a light peanutty taste that went quite well with all the salad ingredients. I know I'll make this often, especially during the hotter summer months when slaving over a hot stove is just not in the cards. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Susie D. We loved it!
