Toss remaining ingredients in large bowl; cover and refrigerate.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    About 3/4 cup purchased peanut dressing can be substituted for the Peanut Satay Dressing. And 1 cup wide chow mein noodles can be used instead of the tortilla strips.
  • tip 2
    To reduce the amount of fat in the dressing, select reduced-fat peanut butter spread for the regular peanut butter and use only 1 tablespoon each vegetable oil and sesame oil.
  • tip 3
    "Satay" describes pieces of meat that are grilled and served with a peanut sauce. Several Asian countries claim this delicious combination as their national dish.
