Zesty Raw Spicy Thai Salad
[Vegan]

For the Spicy Thai Peanut Dressing:

• 1/4 cup tamari (tamari is a gluten free soy sauce) or regular soy sauce
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 3 Tbs finely minced ginger
• 3 Tbs olive oil
• 2 Tbs almond butter
• 2 Tbs Hoisin sauce
• 1 Tbs toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp spicy chili oil (optional but I had it on hand and knew it would make a great addition!)
• 1 tsp sriracha or more if you like it spicy!
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 dash of stevia to taste – also a dollop of agave or maple syrup could work
• 3 chopped green onions, green and white parts
• 2 Tbs chopped chives (optional but use ‘em if you got ‘em!)

For the Salad:

• red & orange bell peppers
• Pre-mixed kale salad or you could also use shredded cabbage + shredded kale if you can’t find a mix in your area.
• broccoli slaw
• shredded carrots
• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• 1.5 cups frozen edamame, thawed
• Thai lime and chili cashews – roughly chopped
• 2 Tbs chopped chives as garnish – again this is optional but highly recommended since it gives great flavor!
