Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing (Whole30)

This past week I tried a new Whole30 recipe: Asian Slaw with Ginger Dressing. The Napa cabbage, carrots, scallions, cilantro, and cashews have a flavorful homemade dressing. The dressing had ten ingredients that were blended in the food processor.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients 

Ingredients - Dressing

1 2" piece of fresh ginger
2 T fresh lime juice
1 T rice wine vinegar
1 t soy sauce
1 t maple syrup
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 t toasted sesame oil
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Ingredients - Salad

1 small green cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds), shredded. I used a Napa cabbage

4 medium carrots (shredded or sliced)

4 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

2 T chopped fresh cilantro

Ingredients - Topping

1/2 cup coarsely chopped raw or roasted cashews

Instructions

To make the dressing, put everything in a food processor and blend.

Place the salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Add the dressing to the mixing bowl, and everything well to coat the vegetables.

Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Sprinkle the cashews on top.
