This dressing is easy and uses everyday items - no hunting down lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves! I did not have limes so I used lemon juice for the dressing and it turned out great. I pulled this out of one of those complimentary magazines from the health food store - better nutrition .

Ingredients:

1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 carrot, peeled and shredded

2 cups bean sprouts

1 small cucumber, halved and sliced

1 cup snow peas, trimmed

1/4 cup red onion, slivered

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed (i prefer cashews)

3 tablespoons lime juice

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil

3 teaspoons sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 -2 garlic clove, minced

1/2-3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Toss veggies and herbs together in a large salad bowl.
2. Whisk dressing ingredients in a small bowl (or whirl in a blender like I did) until sugar is dissolved.
3. Gently toss salad with dressing. Top with chopped nuts and serve.
