INGREDIENTS

Salad

• 1 1/2 cups dry quinoa
• 1 bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 1/2 head of cabbage
• 2 large carrots shredded
• 1/2 cup chopped Daily Crunch Sprouted Almonds

Sauce

• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 3 tbsp water 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add quinoa to a large sauce pot with 3 cups of water. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let quinoa cook until soft and water has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Then remove from heat.

   While the quinoa is cooking, dice onion and bell pepper. Add to a steamer and let steam for about 5 minutes. Then, add in broccoli and steam until just tender, about 3 minutes. Make sure to not over steam your broccoli as it will get mushy quick.

2. In a glass measuring cup, combine almond butter, lime juice, coconut aminos, and water. Stir together until well combined.

3. Shred carrots and then chop 1/2 of the cabbage, then add to a large bowl.

4. Add in steamed veggies, quinoa, and shredded carrots. Mix in almond butter sauce and stir until everything is combined.

5. Stir in chopped Daily Crunch almonds, top with sriracha and serve.
