Ingredients

To make the Thai Crunch Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup cucumber, diced
1 cup edamame, shelled
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped (optional)

Citrus Peanut Dressing Ingredients

The dressing adds a burst of flavor to the salad. Here’s what you’ll need:

1/4 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
1-2 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, edamame, cilantro, and green onions. Toss them together until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the Citrus Peanut Dressing: peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and grated ginger. If the dressing is too thick, you can add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are coated.
Finally, sprinkle the roasted peanuts over the top for an added crunch before serving.

Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy this healthy and vibrant dish that not only looks gorgeous but is packed with nutrients!
