Ingredients​

Cabbage Salad:​

• ▢4 cups green cabbage thinly sliced

• ▢2 cups grated carrots
• ▢1 red bell pepper cut into matchsticks
• ▢½ to ⅔ cup red onion finely chopped
• ▢3 cups cooked chicken chopped into cubes
• ▢1 pint blueberries
• ▢2 ripe avocados diced
• ▢½ cucumber cut into thin slices and halved
• ▢⅔ cup dried cranberries
• ▢⅔ cup sliced almonds

Peanut Dressing:​

• ▢½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ▢¼ cup liquid aminos coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce*
• ▢⅓ cup rice vinegar
• ▢2 Tbsp sesame oil
• ▢3 Tbsp avocado oil
• ▢1 Tbsp sriracha
• ▢1 small clove garlic
• ▢2 tsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
• ▢2 to 4 Tbsp water for thinner consistency

Instructions​

Prepare the dressing:​

• Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Add more water to thin the dressing out if necessary, or do as I do and leave it thick. Note: If you have a small blender such as a magic bullet, you can use it to blend up the dressing.

Make the Salad​

• Thinly slice and chop the green cabbage, red cabbage, bell pepper, and cucumber and grate the carrots. Transfer all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl.
• Add your desired amount of dressing and use salad tongs or two large wooden spoons to toss everything together.
• Serve salad immediately, and enjoy!

Notes​

*If using soy sauce or liquid aminos, also add 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup or brown sugar to add sweetness to the dressing. Be sure to use a low-sodium soy sauce so that the dressing doesn’t turn out too salty.
