Cashew-Chickpea Salad with Cabbage Slaw image

Along with being just plain delicious, this healthy salad is a lesson in synergy: when vitamin C-rich fruits like mandarin oranges and strawberries are eaten with greens and nuts, they help to make the iron in the latter ingredients more bioavailable.

Categories     Salad Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons creamy cashew butter, such as Fix & Fogg
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white or yellow miso
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1 1/2-inch piece)
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
1 cup raw cashews, coarsely chopped (5 ounces)
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 cups finely shredded Savoy or red cabbage, or a combination
5 medium radishes (2 ounces), trimmed and julienned (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and thin stems, coarsely chopped
6 small mandarin oranges (about 12 ounces total), peels and pith removed, separated into segments

Steps:

  • For the Cashew-Chickpea Crunch: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together cashew butter, olive oil, miso, tamari, and ginger. Add chickpeas, cashews, and sesame seeds; toss to combine. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until crunchy and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • For the Salad: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add cabbage, radishes, and cilantro; toss to coat. Fold in mandarins and season. Serve salad topped with chickpea crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a head of cabbage that is firm and has tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that have signs of wilting or damage.
  • Prep the cabbage properly: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Then, remove the core from each quarter and thinly slice the cabbage.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your cashew cabbage dish. Some other great options include carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Toast the cashews: Toasting the cashews before adding them to the dish will help to enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Add some heat: If you like a little bit of spice, feel free to add some red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers to the dish.
  • Serve it over rice or noodles: Cashew cabbage is a great dish to serve over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce and make it a more filling meal.
