Prep 10 mins

Serves 4

Equipment Needed

Chopping board, sharp knife, mixing bowl, measuring jug, spoon

Ingredients

For the salad:

¼ red cabbage
1 red pepper
3 spring onions
2 carrots, grated
240g chickpeas, we used Merchant Gourmet Jumbo Chickpeas
Salted peanuts to top

For the dressing:

5 tbsps Smoked Chilli Peanut Butter
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of ½ lime
1 tbsp light Soy Sauce
Salt to taste

Method

1.) Start by preparing the chopped salad. Roughly chop the red cabbage, then add the red pepper and chop again. Add the spring onions and, you guessed it, chop, chop, chop once more! Scatter over the grated carrot, add the chickpeas, and give everything one final light chop.

2.) Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Next, make the dressing by adding the Smoked Chilli Peanut Butter, grated ginger, minced garlic, and soy sauce to a jug. Mix well to combine, then gradually add warm water until you have a thick but pourable dressing. Season with salt to taste.

3.) Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss really well until everything is evenly coated and top with salted peanuts to add an extra crunch. Serve and enjoy!
