By MissAlyssaG

Ingredients

• For the salad:
• 1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly shredded
• 1/4 head red cabbage, thinly shredded
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1/2 red bell pepper julienned
• 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup basil leaves
• 1 avocado diced
• 1/4 cup chopped cashews
• 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
• For the dressing:
• 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
• 1 clove garlic finely minced
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cabbages, carrots, bell pepper, avocado and half the basil and cilantro in a large bowl. Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing in a separate bowl. If the dressing is too thick you may need to add a little bit more water. Toss the cabbage mixture with the peanut sauce and top with the reserved herbs, cashews and sesame seeds.
