Kale & Cabbage Pad Thai Salad
Description
This salad features a mix of hearty greens—kale and cabbage—that provide crunch and a slightly bitter note balanced by the fresh vegetables and chickpeas. The Light Pad Thai Dressing combines peanut butter with fresh lime juice, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos for umami, maple syrup for sweetness, toasted sesame oil for depth, sriracha for heat, and grated ginger and garlic for freshness. Shaking the dressing ensures the peanut butter incorporates smoothly despite its thickness.
Tossing all ingredients together thoroughly ensures the crunchy vegetables and chickpeas are evenly coated in the creamy, tangy dressing. This salad can serve as a flavorful side dish or a light main course for those seeking a vegetable-forward preparation with Southeast Asian-inspired flavors.
