It's my ELEPHANT SATAY SALAD!
I am not certain than elephants actually engulf peanuts in real life as they do in cartoons, but they definitely eat a whole lot of something! Elephants may not eat peanuts but they definitely have a remarkable memory! They say an elephant never forgets and I promise you, you will not forget this salad!
This incredibly fresh slaw is composed of many different crunchy textures that are all brought together by my velvety satay dressing. The fresh mint and cilantro give this nutritious and unbelievably tasty salad its zing, while the chicken and peanuts; the protein elements of my salad, keep your tummy grumbles away.
