Description

Incredibly light but so flavorful.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter, Your Choice
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger, Fresh Or Jarred
  • 1 clove Finely Minced Garlic
  • ½ cups Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cups Rice Vinegar
  • Chili Oil, To Taste
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 8 cups Torn Lettuce Or Salad Greens
  • 2 cups Thinly Sliced Cabbage
  • 3 whole Scallions, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 whole Carrot, Cut Into Matchsticks
  • ½ cups Unsalted Cashews, Lightly Toasted And Roughly Chopped
  • 2 whole Avocados
  • Lime Wedges, Sriracha, And Cilantro Leaves, Optional, For Serving

Preparation

Make the dressing: Whisk the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, chili sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegar together in a small bowl. Taste and add more vinegar or fish sauce for additional tang/salt to your preference. Drizzle in chili oil to your taste—I start with about 1 teaspoon and add a bit more depending on the taste of people I’m serving; it’s spicy stuff!

Assemble the salad: Evenly layer lettuce, cabbage, scallions, carrot strips and cashews in bowls. This can be done ahead of time.

Right before serving, halve and cube the avocados. Add 1/2 of an avocado to each salad, and drizzle with dressing.

Top with hot sauce, lime juice, and cilantro leaves, if desired.

Yum!

Note: This can easily be made vegan by eliminating the fish sauce from the dressing and adding an extra dash of soy sauce.
