Servings: 4
Equipment
- high speed blender or immersion blender
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced red cabbage about one small head of cabbage
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 1½ cup frozen shelled edamame thawed/cooked
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- 1½ cup carrots, shredded or matchstick
- 5 wonton papers, thinly sliced *optional to make wonton strips
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil to make wonton strips
Peanut Ginger Dressing
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter *see notes
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- ½ tbsp minced fresh garlic
- ¼ tsp salt & peper
Instructions
- Grate/shred the carrots if not already. Thinly slice up the cabbage and stem and chop the kale. Add all three to a large bowl
- If you are making wonton strips, slice them into thin strips and add them to an oiled skillet on medium/low heat. Sauté them, stirring often, until they get bubbled and browned on each side about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and set them aside until ready to serve.
- Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Mix up all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Use a high speed blender or Immersion blender to mix the dressing and get it nice and creamy. Add 1-2 Tbsp of water to thin sauce, if needed, peanut butters vary so it may be too thick!
- Add dressing, edamame, chopped almonds to salad and mix well. Once you are ready to serve, add the optional wonton strips to the top of the salad and serve. Feel free to add black sesame seeds and avocado for garnish or leave as is.
Notes
*creamy works best but any will work. You can also use almond or cashew butter if needed.
*add a little water at a time to dressing as needed to thin it out, please note all peanut butters will vary in consistency.
