Ingredients / Equipment:

• Handful of peanuts

• 1 avocado

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped

• 2 carrots, shredded

• 3 green onions, sliced

• 1/4 head of cabbage, shredded

• 2 grilled chicken breasts (optional)

• mixed greens

For peanut sauce:

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

• 2 TBSP tamari or soy sauce

• 2 TBSP maple syrup

• 1/4 tsp red chili flakes

• juice of 1/2 lime

• water to thin out

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions:

Let’s make the peanut sauce first!

Combine all your ingredients, except for water, into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Depending on your desired consistency, add water by the TBSP to thin out your sauce.

In a small pan on medium heat, toast your peanuts to your desired toast level. Set aside to cool.

We’ll layer this beautiful salad with farm-fresh ingredients. Start with your mixed greens on the bottom, next add your cabbage, bell pepper and shredded carrots. Next, fan out your avocado so its evenly dispersed. Add your grilled chicken and top with a generous couple of spoonfuls of your peanut sauce. Lastly, top with cilantro, green onions, toasted peanuts and some sesame seeds if you have it!

Note: You can substitute any protein for this recipe and it would be delicious! Whether its tofu, grilled shrimp or some steak, they’ll all be tasty!

We also liked to prep some extra to have for lunch the next day. If you’d like to do the same, just double the recipe and it’ll store well!

Cheers!
