Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini spiralized
- 1 cucumber spiralized
- 2 carrots spiralized
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece galangal or ginger minced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 rib celery thinly sliced
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 2-3 Cups bean sprouts
- 1 Cup fresh cilantro lightly chopped
- 1 Cup raw cashews or peanuts crushed (omit for fat free)
- ½ Cup fresh basil torn
- ½ lime, wedges to serve
Ingredients for the dressing:
- ½ Cup Raw honey
- ½ Cup coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp tamarind paste
- 2 Tbsp date sauce
- ½ tsp cayenne
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Ingredients for Thai Red Chili Paste:
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 large onion
- 1 1-inch piece ginger
- ½ Cup coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp Raw honey
- 1 Tbsp chili flakes (extra hot or use fresh hot pepper, habanero works great)
- ½ Cup coconut aminos
- 3 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 Tbsp tamarind
Instructions
- Prep and chop all the salad ingredients - celery, scallions, bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, fresh basil. Place them in a bowl.
- Spiralize all veggies you are using into the same bowl (if you are using cucumber, place in a separate bowl because it can release a lot of water into the salad).
- Prep the dressing.
- Place all dressing ingredients into a bowl and thoroughly mix with a whisk.
- Your dressing is ready!
- Drizzle dressing on top and then sprinkle with black sesame seeds and raw cashews (if you choose to use them). Some people love peanuts on top - you can find a clean brand with no salt added (if you are not watching your salt you can just use roasted peanuts).
- The Thai Red Chili Paste can be used for a dipping sauce or drizzle a little over the salad…it’s also great over steamed potatoes (very versatile). If you don’t want to make it from scratch, Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste is a great option.
