Ingredients

Thai Chopped Salad:
  • 3 cups cooked chicken chopped
  • 3 cups green cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced**
  • 2 cups spring greens or spinach chopped
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 large mango peeled and diced
  • ½ cup raw cashews toasted
  • 5 green onions chopped
Sesame Ginger Almond Butter Dressing:
  • ½ cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter
  • ¼ cup liquid aminos
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar or fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil***
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil***
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ Tbsp Sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 small clove garlic minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 to 4 Tbsp water for thinner consistency if necessary

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the ingredients for the peanut dressing to a small blender and blend until completely combined. Transfer to a sealable jar and refrigerate until ready to use. If needed, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of water to the dressing for thinner consistency.
  2. Add all of the ingredients for the salad to a large bowl and drizzle in desired amount of peanut dressing. Toss until everything is well-coated in dressing. Taste the salad for flavor and add sea salt and/or lemon juice or rice vinegar to taste (or more peanut dressing).
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • **Go with all green cabbage if you’d like.
  • ***If you’d like, you can use all sesame oil or avocado oil. I use both so that the sesame flavor comes through but isn’t extremely prominent. If you love a lot of sesame flavor, go with all sesame oil (⅓ cup). On the flip side, if you don’t like sesame oil, use ⅓ cup avocado oil instead.
