There’s a Vietnamese angle to this peanut-loving recipe so add a handful of Vietnamese mint if you want to theme it even more.
I haven’t bought peanut butter since I bought my Thermomix. I seek the best roasted, unsalted peanuts I can find and blitz them with a big pinch of flaked salt for 1 min/speed 10.
This salad goes brilliantly with grilled chicken. I love putting chicken ribs on the BBQ and serving them with this salad!
