   2       c            Shredded Cabbage
   2       lg           Carrots, Cut Into Julienne

     1/3   c            Smooth Peanut Butter
     1/3   c            Water
   2       tb           Fresh Lemon Juice
   1 1/4   ts           Tabasco Pepper Sauce
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1                    Clove Garlic, Cut In Half
   1                    Piece Lemon Zest, About 1"
     1/4   c            Vanilla Yogurt

  This simple but rather exotic composed salad marries
  crisp fresh vegetables and smooth tofu with a spicy
  peanut dressing for an unusual Indonesian inspired
  taste.
  ~------------------------------------------------------
  ~----------------- Steam the beans, cabbage and
  carrots for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp, and
  cool.  Arrange the cooked vegetables, cucumber,
  sprouts and tofu on a serving platter.
  
  In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, water,
  lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, salt, garlic and lemon
  peel; stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from the
  heat and discard the garlic and lemon zest.  Stir in
  the yogurt. Serve the dressing warm over the salad.
  
  Lagniappe - One-quarter teaspoon of Tabasco sauce
  perks up any salad dressing.  Use more for a spicier
  taste.
