So Ryan and I had this great salad the other night at California Pizza Kitchen and we decided to replicate it at home, while spicy-ing it up some. The main ingredient is cabbage and yeah I know, doesn't seem that interesting and it smells a little, but did you know that cabbage is included in the top 100 foods? It falls under the category of Cancer & Long-term Illness Prevention. So eat up!
Here are the ingredients:
Cabbage- green and red, shredded
Cucumber (cubed)
Carrots (shredded)
Edamame
Green Onions (chopped white and green pieces)
Avocado
Wontons and/or Crispy Rice Noodles
Peanuts
Dressing:
Cilantro, about 1/2 cup
Olive Oil (use your eye)
1 Lime
1/2 clove of garlic
Green Pepper (we get ours from our garden)
1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
black pepper
Thai Spicy Peanut Sauce (bought from the store) with a little smidge of sesame oil.
Ryan made the dressing in our mini food processor so that pepper and cilantro were finely minced. Basically we just combined all the ingredients, tossed with the dressing, then to add some spice we added the Thai Spicy Peanut Sauce. I think it would also be good to top with some Salmon, or other fish. Basically it's a very simply and easy salad with a lot of flavor.
