I assume the 1 1/2 tsp of ginger is ground dry ginger rather than grated fresh ginger but wanted to double check. Thanks! :)

Yes! Fresh works too but it’ll be around 1 Tablespoon
I absolutely love Asian peanut sauce. This salad is the best Asian salad I have ever had. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Ahhh! Thanks so much. Yes, making it this week I was trying to think of another recipe I could do with that dressing. 😅😋
Anyway to make the sauce without cottage cheese? I can’t do cows dairy

A dairy free Greek style plain yogurt works great
I am so excited to make this recipe! If I wanted to use PB fit, what would be the amount that I would use to sub for the peanut butter? Thank you so much!

Yes! That works
This is really good. I used one container of shredded rotisserie chicken from Aldi – 2 bags of their asian salad kit (without any of the dressing or other items in the bag). A couple of things I think would be interesting to try next time: either adding chopped hard boiled eggs or maybe adding more rice vinegar for a little more tanginess. It is really good and filling though. I’m eating it for breakfast because it just sounded cool and refreshing on a muggy day.
