Back in the 1950s, Dot Hubbard, along with her husband HJ, developed a blister-fried technique to create crunchier, flavorful peanuts. It completely revolutionized Virginia’s already booming peanut industry. Now run by their daughter, Hubs Peanuts continues to uphold high standards where peanut quality is top priority. Used in this asian salad utilizes the flavor and texture of Hubs, without outshining the vegetable base. Serve this as a family-style side, pack for a work lunch, or add protein to it for a filling dinner.

steps
- Make roasted peanuts: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt coconut oil and add peanuts. Roast, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Transfer 1 cup of peanuts from pan to a food processor and let cool. With remaining peanuts still in the pan, add ¼ cup shaved coconut, salt, and continue toasting mixture, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Make peanut dressing: In a food processor, pulse peanuts until finely chopped. Add remaining dressing ingredients and process, thinning with water, as needed, until dressing reaches desired consistency.
- Assemble: In a large mixing bowl or shallow serving dish, add prepped vegetables and pour over peanut dressing. Toss to coat, and top with crunchy peanut coconut mixture.
