Thai Salad with 'Peanut' Sauce
This is currently our favorite meal! It is pretty basic and can be altered to fit your own taste. The dressing is also great as a dip for veggies. I have also served the cut up veggies with romaine lettuce and ‘thai coleslaw’ dressing for a variety of lettuce wraps. Always a big hit! A friend shared these recipes with me and I believe they came from Matt Amsden/RAWvolution.
Dressing
1 cup Raw Almond Butter
½ cup Pure water or more to thin the
dressing
4 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoon Fresh ginger, chopped
¼ cup Pure organic maple sryup
3 tablespoon Nama
Shoyu
4 tablespoon Sesame oil, cold pressed
3 Cloves of garlic
½ Serrano or jalapeno chile, omit if you do not like spicey
Salad
Carrot, sliced like matsticks or shaved
Purple Cabbage, thinly sliced
Daikon Radish, sliced like matchsticks or shaved
Bok Choy,
minced
Green Onions, minced
Red or Green Pepper, thinly sliced
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Zucchini or Squash or both, thinly sliced or
shaved
Portobello Mushroom or some other 'meaty' variety, optional
1 tablespoon Raw Cashews, minced, optional
1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro, minced, optional
Dressing:
I put all the ingredients in the blender and blend til the garlic, ginger and chile are pureed. I have also made it by mincing the garlic, ginger and chile and mixing by hand. So this meal could be appliance free.
Salad:
I know this is very general, but I change this every time I make it, according to what I have in the fridge. I always use bok choy, carrots, red pepper and then just add in what I feel like, usually somewhat equal parts. I top with green onions, minced cilantro and minced cashews. Using a food processor will save you time, but not mandatory.

I just made this dressing this morning to take to school for my midday salad. This dressing is on point! I used soaked raw peanuts instead of almonds. Thank you for the recipe Rawstiles! ...delicious!

After reading everyone's comments about this, I made it. Seriously, I licked the blender clean (minus the blades... in which case I used my fingers). Mmmm Mmmm MMMM!

Okay so I used green and purple cabbage but didn't have any bok choy but it was still super delicious! YUMMY! My mouth is still on fire (from the chile) but I think that's a good thing! I'm adding this to my favorites and will try with the bok choy and daikon radish next time!

I have a lot of green cabbage lying around, can that be used instead of purple cabbage? This sounds really yummy!

I used this sauce as the basis of a dinner tonight, but added an entire red chile, omitted the sesame oil, used agave nectar instead of maple syrup, and added a bunch of chopped thai basil. It was delicious. I served it over finely chopped red cabbage, carrots, green onions, red peppers, mung bean sprouts, snow peas, and chopped cilantro and thai basil. I topped it off with some chopped mushrooms and scallions marinated in shoyu, thai basil, chopped ginger and a dash of olive oil. One of the best raw dinners I've ever had.

Yum! Added some tamarind paste to the dressing and tossed with spiralized zucchini and chopped bell pepper for a potluck. It was a great success!

I made this dressing for some thai wraps I was making. So I didn't use as much water since it was for a dip, but it was soooo good. delish
