06 Sep Asian Cabbage Salad

This perfect summer salad takes minimal time, lasts up to a week in your fridge and and gets better each day that it sits in this delectable dressing.

Take it to the next level with seared shrimp, roasted chicken or fried tofu!

For the slaw combine (raw):

• 1 cup shredded carrot
• ½ cup of shredded beet

For the dressing combine:

• ½ cup natural peanut butter
• 2 tbsp of soy sauce
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp of maple syrup
• 1 tbsp of sesame seed oil
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

• Chili pepper flakes to taste if you want a spicy kick

Once you’ve loosely mixed the dressing with the raw slaw, top it off with some chopped organic peanuts, chopped green onion and fresh cilantro.
