Alright, Mom, here is the one that you have been asking for.  After trying this dressing, you will never feel the need to order a Thai salad from a restaurant ever again, because you will have the secret.  I can't take credit for this one, and I don't remember where I found it, but I am pretty sure I have made it often enough to memorize all of the ingredients.

Thai Peanut Dressing

4 T. peanut butter
3 T. olive oil
2 T. rice vinegar
2 T. fresh squeezed lime juice
2 T. honey
2 T. brown sugar
1 T. soy sauce
1 clove of garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1" cube (approx.) of fresh ginger, peeled, chopped into quarters
1/4 t. crushed red pepper
2 T. fresh cilantro leaves

I am pretty sure I remembered everything...  Anyway, put all the ingredients into a super-blender (Vitamix and Blendtec are plenty capable) or food processor and blend until smooth.  Then pour over a large bowl of salad which could happily include any of the following:

chopped kale
chopped cabbage, varying colors
carrots
green onions
bell peppers
cucumbers (cut out the wet seedy part of the cucumber to keep the salad crunchier)
snap peas
toasted almonds
tofu cubes
frozen peas

Toss and enjoy.  Forever.

*Note: this is not a low-calorie salad, but if you use Adams peanut butter you'll probably feel a little bit better about it.  Also, I tried the dressing without the peanut butter (when I ran out) and it still comes out deliciously, just as a spicy ginger-lime dressing.  I highly recommend trying both.
