Cabbage Salad with Peanut Chili Maple Dressing

September 5, 2014 By Jessica

My favorite thing to order at Real Food Daily, a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles, is the yin yang salad. We are not vegan, but we go to vegan restaurants because we know there won’t be any issue with dairy accidentally getting into my children’s food. Living allergen-free and going out to eat don’t always work out well, so places like this are safer for us to go to. Most vegan restaurants have gluten free options. I know it can be confusing sometimes when I say dairy free and then post a chicken recipe. With some of my meatless recipes being egg-free I can share recipes with my vegan friends 🙂

As you know, when I try something in a restaurant that was super tasty I have to try to make it at home  – thank goodness my taste buds are good to me! Well, most of the time, we won’t go into the flops.

This recipe is delicious on it’s own but will absolutely go with any main dish option you like. Super healthy too, with all that Vitamin C in the cabbage, B12 and protein in the peanut butter. If you are nut-free then just substitute for sunflower butter. Both have the same thick creaminess for the dressing. Sunflower makes for a yummy substitute. Easy and delicious for any night of the week…enjoy!

 

Makes a large bowl, 6 salad bowls, or 12 sides

For the Dressing:

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup unsalted peanut butter
2 tablespoons spicy chili sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Put all ingredients into a mini food processor and mix until smooth.

For the Salad:

1 head organic nappa cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 head organic red cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 head organic green cabbage
5 scallions, 1/3 of green stem removed, and trimmed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, for garnish
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Toss all the ingredients into a large bowl, except the peanuts, combine well. Add the dressing, mix well. Serve in salad bowls with some peanuts as garnish.

    Hi my daughter is allergic to peanuts but I want to make this for us and trying to find a substitute that'll give the same crunch peanuts do. Would you recommend not using anything, or substituting? This will be tonight's dinner. Thanks

      Sorry I did see your comment earlier! I do hope you found a good substitute and it came out delish. I would use hazelnuts or pumpkin seeds for additional flavor as well as almonds, those would work well too.

    Peanuts are not paleo.

    Tried this recipe as a stove-free dinner and just wanted to say how tasty it was. I added more chili sauce for added kick and it didn't affect the peanut or maple syrup flavor in here. Thanks for an easy recipe :)

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Jessica, welcome to my blog! I'm a wife and mother of four (all boys, including twins. Did not see that coming!) who loves to eat. Discovering food intolerances in my family and myself had me think about cooking differently with an emphasis on nutrition, but not any less deliciously. No, won't settle for that, neither will my kids! Here you will find simple, healthy, seasonal recipes we love that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. Many are also egg free, nut free, plant-based and/or grain free, given our evolving dietary lifestyle. Even though we live a life of dietary restrictions, my passion for food keeps me on a constant quest to create tasty recipes or adapt our favorite recipes from my stack of cookbooks to bring back the joy of eating again, without sacrificing flavor. Hope you find some inspiration and recipes to enjoy ... thanks for stopping by!
