Here Is Your Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad Recipe With a Mouthwatering Ginger Peanut Dressing:

Serves 2
 

Ingredients:

For the salad

  • 1 cup white quinoa
  • ¾ cup shredded red cabbage
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander
  • 1 corn cob, kernels removed
  • ¼ cup fresh peas
  • ⅓ cup cashews (toasted or raw)

 

For the dressing:

  • ¼ cup all natural peanut butter
  • 2 tsp. freshly grated ginger
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut nectar
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • ⅛ cup water

 

Preparation

To make the dressing, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set aside until ready.

Place the quinoa in a saucepan or rice cooker and cover with 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the water has absorbed. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or so while you make the salad.
 

 
 
Place the cabbage, capsicum, coriander, corn, and peas in a large bowl and mix well.

If you wish to toast the cashews, place them on a hot grill for five minutes or so, turning them to evenly cook. Be sure to keep an eye on them and remove from the heat once they are golden.

Add the quinoa and cashews to the vegetables and mix everything together. Add the dressing and mix one final time to combine. Garnish with cashews and coriander to serve.
