Gut & Glow Crunch Salad

• total time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

For the salad:

1/2 green cabbage, thinly shredded

3-4oz arugula

1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced

3-4 scallions, sliced

Handful of cilantro, chopped

Handful of fresh mint, chopped

Sesame seeds & peanuts (optional for crunch)

For the sesame ginger dressing:

1 to 1.5 inch chunk fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves

4-5 tbsp mayo

5 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

Salt & pepper

Here’s how I made it:

1️⃣ Thinly shred the cabbage and add it to a large bowl along with the arugula, cucumber, scallions, cilantro, mint, sesame seeds, and chopped peanuts. The key is to ensure the cabbage is super thinly shredded (I used a mandolin) and finely dice the rest of the ingredients.

Directions

Add the ginger, garlic, mayo, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce or tamari, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss really well until everything is coated.

Let it sit for 5-10 minutes so the cabbage softens slightly and absorbs all the flavor.

Add your favorite protein like grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, tofu, or edamame and enjoy.
