THAI QUINOA SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS

1.5 cups cooked quinoa

▢1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

▢2 cups red/purple cabbage

▢1 large carrot grated (about 1 cup)

▢.5 cup cilantro chopped

Creamy Peanut Dressing

▢ 1/4 cup peanut butter (the creamy kind)

▢3 TB vegetable broth or water (more if needed)

▢2 TB tamari

▢2 TB fresh lime juice

▢1 teaspoon maple syrup

▢2 TB rice wine vinegar

▢ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

▢ 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

▢ 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional but tasty)

INSTRUCTIONS

Add all salad ingredients to a bowl.

In a separate bowl whisk the ingredients to make the peanut dressing. Add more veggie broth or water if you would like a thinner consistency. Note: you might not need all of the dressing.

Add dressing to salad ingredients and toss until combined. Salad will last in the fridge for about 3 days.*
