Cuisine: Thai
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. brussels sprouts ends trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 2 c. carrots grated
  • 2 c. cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 c. edamame previously frozen and brought to room temperature*
  • ¼ c. cilantro finely chopped
  • ¼ c. almonds finely chopped
  • ¼ c. green onions finely chopped

Thai-Style Almond Butter Dressing

  • 1/3 c. almond butter smooth, microwave for 10-15 seconds
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce Tamari, or coconut aminos**
  • 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup*^
  • ¼ tsp. ginger ground
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1-2 tsp. chili paste or Sriracha
  • 2-3 Tbsp. warm water

Instructions

  • Using a food processor with the slicing disc attached, thinly slice all of your brussels sprouts. Place these in a large bowl. Next, thinly slice all of your cabbage and place in the large bowl.
  • Switch out the slicing disc for the grating disc and finely grate the carrots. Add to the large bowl.
  • Next, add edamame to the large bowl.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl combine almond butter, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, ground ginger, minced garlic, chili paste and water. Whisk until smooth. If sauce is too thick, add additional water.
  • Add almond butter dressing to the large bowl and toss to combine.
  • Serve salad immediately with cilantro, almonds and green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

*Replace edamame with additional carrots if Paleo or Whole 30. **Use coconut aminos if Paleo or Whole 30. ***Leave maple syrup out if Whole 30. ^If making this ahead of time, keep dressing and shredded vegetables separate until just ready to serve. This will ensure the salad stays crisp and does not get soggy.
