Crunchy Thai Cabbage Salad

If you’re looking for an easy and flavorful meal prep lunch option or just want to spice things up for a yummy meatless Monday dinner, this recipe is for you!

I love the variety of colors and textures in this meal. Combined with the peanut dressing, it is the perfect balanced and satiating dish. It is incredibly easy to make, but different enough from most other meals on your weekly menus. Loaded with nutrients, plant-based protein & tons of flavor, this meal is a go-to for me!


Thai Cabbage Quinoa Ingredients
2/3 cup organic quinoa, dry
1/2 cup organic edamame
1/3 small red cabbage, chopped
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 carrots, chopped
2 baby cucumbers, chopped
A bunch of cilantro, chopped

For the dressing:
1.5tbs liquid or coconut aminos
2tbs nut butter - I used organic peanut butter
Juice from 1/2 lemon

Salt + pepper to taste
Water to thin out

While quinoa is cooking, prep vegetables. Add sauce ingredients to a bowl, mixing in water until desired consistency. Once quinoa is cooked, add vegetables, stir in sauce, toss & ENJOY.
