Eat Clean - Green Asian Salad




Preparing food without mixes, jars or packets is foreign to many. The packet of seasoning is so ingrained and automatic, that there are those that can't fathom flavor without it.

Here is an incredible fresh raw salad loaded with tons of flavor, sure to create a audible "mmmm" at first bite.

It's a simple formula - chop veggies, mix dressing in a blender and marinade for a minimum of 1 hour.  There are no measurements because you add the ingredients according to what you like most (or in my case, what I have on hand). And every ingredient is optional.

**Perfect for lunch boxes and taking a friend a meal**



SALAD:
 Choose all the ingredients you like, and leave the ones you don't.
1 c. Broccoli, chopped
2 c. Snow Peas, halved
1/2 head Green Napa Cabbage, shredded
2 carrots, grated
1 c. Edamame
1 Red Pepper, julienned
1 can Water Chestnuts
1 c. Crisp Cucumber, sliced
1/4 c. Cashews, chopped big

This is a NAPPA CABBAGE

DRESSING:
1 tsp. ginger, freshly minced
2 Tbls onion
1 Tbls Bragg's Amino Acids (or low sodium soy sauce)
2 Tbls Tahini
1/4 c Coconut Milk
1/4 c Coconut Oil
2 Tbls Raisins (or 4 dates)
Juice of 1 lime (2 if not juicy)
S&P

All in blender.
Marinade salad for a minimum of 1 hour.

Tonight, I'm serving this with a meatless burger. If it turns out well, I'll share that with you too!



In the photo above, I used only cabbage, snow peas and carrots. I didn't have any of the other ingredients on hand and it was just as tasty as the first time I made it with EVERYTHING listed above.



Now you know everything you need to make a gorgeous Asian Salad (or slaw).
