I lightened up a recipe that I found in a cookbook, and these grilled kabobs were the tasty result. The scrumptious peanut butter dipping sauce is always a hit. —Hannah Barringer of Loudon, Tennessee

This satay sauce is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I've used it in all meals I normally use other satay sauces in, and I've given it to so many people!!! Latest I've used this sauce with was Salt and Pepper Silken Tofu as a dipping sauce....VERY SUCCESSFUL!!!

Perfect recipe for adults and kids. My kids are pretty picky, but love to eat kabobs (or anything on a stick). The peanut sauce is very kid friendly. I will definitely make this again!
