Ingredients

FOR THE HONEY GINGER PEANUT DRESSING:

  • tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic grated fine
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt more or less to taste

FOR THE SALAD:

  • 1 head Napa cabbage sliced
  • 1/3 head purple cabbage sliced (about 1 to 2 cups)

  • 1 cup bean sprouts rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds plus more for garnish

Instructions

MAKE THE DRSSING:

  • In a small bowl measure and add in the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, honey, peanut oil, rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil and salt. Whisk until smooth and all of the ingredients are incorporated. Set off to the side so the ingredients can gel.

MAKE THE SALAD:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the cabbage, baby bok choy, bell pepper, carrots, green onions, bean sprouts and toasted sesame seeds. Add in 3/4 cup of the peanuts and the chopped cilantro (if using). Toss more to combine, before divvying up the salad among plates (or bowls) and drizzling with the honey ginger peanut dressing.
  • Serve with extra peanuts, sesame seeds, green onions and cilantro as garnish.
