Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 cup pomelo/grapefruit peeled, segneted and chopped
- 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashew nuts raw or roasted
- 3 cups arugula packed
- 1/2 cup cucumber cubed
For the sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce/Tamari
- 1/2 lime/lemon juice only (use less if using lemon)
- 1 Thai chili pepper or jalapeno or to taste
- 1 tbsp maple syrup/honey
Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl, toss to combine and drizzle with Thai-style dressing.
Notes
- Take-along tip: keep dressing in a separate container and add salad greens on top to avoid a soggy mess.
- Tamari and soy sauce share a similar color and flavor, and are both a byproduct of fermented soybeans. The only difference, Tamari is made without wheat and doesn’t contain any gluten.
