Instructions
- Prepare the rice: If you don’t have pre-cooked rice, cook it according to the package instructions. Let it cool down afterward.

- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and minced garlic. Stir until creamy.

- Serve: Let the salad sit for about 15 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
Notes
For added crunch, consider sprinkling roasted peanuts or cashews on top before serving. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or tofu for extra protein.
