It is national drink beer day, so I'm washing it down with a cold brew or two or five.

(9,824 posts)it still made a ton. I substituted cashew butter for the peanut butter. The dressing/sauce was awesome, esp. after I thinned it out a bit with lime juice. I guess we'll eat the rest for lunch for a couple of days. This recipe would be great for a pot luck (as noted by the person who adapted the recipe on their blog) not a dinner for two people!!
