Have you ever had the pea salad with bacon crumbles, onion, and a ridiculously heavy mayonnaise dressing? Well, it's delicious. This is a healthy interpretation of the aforementioned monstrosity, but is comparable in terms of delicious-ness. The toasted hazelnuts have a rich crunch to rival the bacon crumbles. Dressing 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon honey juice of one lime 2 cloves garlic minced 1 teaspoon ginger minced 1 tablespoon olive oil Veg 1 1/2 cup peas 1 cup cubed sweet potato To begin, add the olive oil, garlic, ginger, and hazelnuts to a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add to a serving bowl. Add in the rest of the dressing ingredients and whisk well. To prepare veg, blanch and shock the peas, and boil the sweet potato until tender. Drain and toss into the dressing. Serve warm or chilled.

The leafy portion of a Napa is thinly sliced for the body of this Thai- inspired dish. Garlic toasted almonds add texture and balance the spice of the ginger dressing. This would be easily converted into an entrée with the addition of poached tilapia or a soft boiled egg.
Dressing 1.5 cup chopped carrots 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup coconut oil 4 tablespoons palm sugar 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon sriracha Salad 4-5 cups thinly sliced raw Napa Cabbage 1 cup finely shredded carrot Almonds 1 cup chopped almonds 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until you've made a smooth puree. To make the almonds, heat a pan over medium heat. Add all ingredients and toss to incorporate. Stir until toasted and fragrant, 2-6 minutes. Set aside and let cool. To assemble the salad, toss the Napa Cabbage and carrots with enough dressing to coat, then top with a handful of almonds. |
