Ingredients:
Thai Salad
1 head of Napa Cabbage, shredded
1 head red cabbage, shredded
1 large cucumber, julienned ( I used a vegetable peeler)
1 10 oz bag shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
2 carrots, peeled and grated
2 green onions, finely sliced
In a large bowl, toss the cabbages, cucumber, edamame, carrots and green onions.
Sweet Lime-Cilantro Dressing
2 cups olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh cilantro( no stems, and I used my food processor)
1 cup sugar ( next time I am going to decrease the sugar to half and see how it is)
2 cloves garlic minced
Juice of 2 large limes
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
avocado, peeled and sliced
Mince Cilantro, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Top each serving of salad with 2 T of the dressing( shake well and stir good before putting on salad) and 2 slices of avocado for garnish. I put the dressing for storage in a big mason jar for easy access.
Notes
Cooks note: You can also add 2 boneless chicken breasts cooked, chilled and thinly sliced.
** I really enjoyed this salad and the dressing! Taste is by itself before adding to the salad because it is amazing. I think it would be wonderful on chicken! I am going to try with less sugar, only because it is really sweet. But oh so yummy, I swear!
