Take-out Tuesday, Power Greens Salad with Peanut Lime Dressing and Butternut Squash Ravioli Croutons
Now you can have peanut butter in your salad!
and your pasta too~
I used this bag of kale salad mix to make prep super easy, but you can also make your own mix with fresh kale, shaved brussels sprouts, spinach, whatever you like
Fresh ravioli cooks in 2-3 minutes and will keep for days in the refrigerator
When you’re ready to serve the salad, top the ravioli with fresh Parmesan and broil for a few minutes
Serve them whole
Or quartered
The dressing is super easy
Mix everything in a jar for easy mixing and storing
The peanut butter makes it creamy and the lime adds just the right amount of tang and spark
It’s great without the croutons too!

Love your salad combo and the peanut lime dressing sounds delicious Jenna! I’ve bought butternut squash ravioli at my grocery store in the fall. Love the idea of a little additional parm and broiling it for crouton!
What a great idea–adding the ravioli on top! Yum! I love those cruciferous veggie blends! my fave!
Thanks Shana, it’s a great change up!
