• 1 cup shredded purple cabbage

• 1/2 cup shredded green cabbage

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced

• 1 (large) carrot, julienned or shredded

• 1 red pepper, cored and julienned

• 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

• 1/4 cup chopped scallions

• 1/4 cup chopped cashews

Dressing Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter

• 2 tablespoons hot water

• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoons honey

• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

• juice of 1 lime

• pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

In a large bowl toss all salad ingredients until well combined.

Whisk all dressing ingredients together until combined. If the dressing is too thick, add hot water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches the consistency you desire. Drizzle dressing over salad toss to combine, and serve.

Try this salad topped with some grilled shrimp or shredded chicken for an added protein boost.
