Directions

For salad, thaw green beans in a colander and pat dry to remove excess water. Clean frisée and cut into bite-size pieces; set aside.

For dressing, in a food processor, combine the green onions, garlic, ginger, and jalapeño. Process until uniform. Add the oil and process briefly to form a paste.

Transfer paste to a large bowl. Whisk in cream of coconut. Add peanut butter and 1 cup warm water. Add the remaining water, 1 tablespoon or so at a time, if necessary to make dressing a smooth consistency. Whisk in cilantro, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce.

Add green beans and frisée to bowl with dressing; toss until nicely coated. Garnish with roasted peanuts.
