Ingredients

  • Chickpeas: 1 can (or cooked from dried)
  • Shredded cabbage: 1-2 cups
  • Carrots: 1-2, sliced thinly
  • Bell peppers: ½-1 cup, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Peanut Butter: ¼ cup
  • Soy Sauce or Tamari: 1 tablespoon
  • Rice Vinegar: 1 tablespoon

  • Fresh Ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Garlic: 1 clove, minced
  • Maple Syrup: 1 tablespoon
  • Water: 1-2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, or roast them for extra crunch by tossing with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then baking at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes.
  2. While chickpeas are roasting, shred the cabbage, slice the carrots, and chop the bell peppers. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, fresh ginger, garlic, and maple syrup. Thin the dressing with water to your desired consistency.
  4. Add the roasted chickpeas to the mixing bowl with the shredded veggies. Pour the peanut dressing over and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Top the salad with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. For meal prep, store the dressing separately to keep the veggies crisp.
