Ingredients:
1 head organic romaine lettuce,washed and dried
1 cup seeded,peeled and matchstick sliced cucumber
1 cup chopped organic mushrooms
2 cups organic bean sprouts
3/4 cup fresh cilantro,coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raw almonds or cashews,coarsely chopped
1 cup organic red and orange peppers, finely sliced
For the Dressing:
3 Tbsp organic nut butter (suggestion...macadamia)
2 Tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp Tamari sauce
1 Tbsp organic honey
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Preparation
1.Blend all the dressing ingredients until well blended.
2.Then, tear the lettuce(you should have about 8 cups). Just before serving, combine the lettuce, vegetables, dressing and half of the nuts. Toss.
3.Sprinkle remaining nuts over the top and serve immediately.
Note that the salad becomes soggy if it sits for too long.
This is a salad that marries well with any great Thai recipe. Make it a theme night and have your guests bring a wonderful homemade recipe to go along with it. Pot lucks are great and it helps you enjoy meals with wonderful company.
You could easily send great organic recipes to guests and this will help them explore their own culinary talents....who knows they might just like it????
Enjoy!!!
