 1 pound salad greens
Thai Peanut Dressing
Garnishes
 Chopped dry roasted peanuts
 Fresh mint, chopped

Instructions

1

Soak noodles in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Prepare Thai Dressing. Thin with a little more milk, if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning to suit.

4

Arrange greens on salad plates or bowls. Add vegetables and baked tofu in a spoked fashion on the lettuce. Serve with dressing and garnishes.
