Salad
- 6 celery stalks with leaves, thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, chopped (Note 1)
- 1/2 cup roasted and salted cashews
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- red pepper flakes, to taste Dressing
- 3 tablespoons smooth almond, cashew, or peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Depending on the thickness of your nut butter, you may need to add some water (1 tablespoon at a time) until your preferred consistency is reached. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Step 2: Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour half of the dressing on top and toss well. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired; I like to be quite generous with the red pepper flakes here.
- Serve: Plate the salad and drizzle with extra dressing, to taste. This salad goes great alongside Crispy Honey Sriracha Shrimp.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Every 3 scallions may be substituted with 1/4 cup of sliced red onions
