Ingredients

  • 2 English cucumbers grated
  • 15-20 leaves finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 4-6 green onions chopped
  • 1 package small baby tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup garbanzo beans
  • 1 lime, squeezed
  • our peanut dressing, double the recipe
  • grilled chicken breast, grilled shrimp, avocado optional

Instructions

  • Grate the cucumber using the biggest side of a box grater with the largest holes. Make sure to thoroughly drain the cucumber after grating it because there will be a lot of liquid. It is super important to remove the excess liquid so the flavors of the dressing come through. Wash, dry, and finely chop the fresh basil, fresh cilantro, and green onions. Then, cut the small baby tomatoes in half or into quarters.
  • In a large bowl combine the cucumber, basil, cilantro, green onions, small baby tomatoes, shredded carrots, and garbanzo beans. After that, squeeze lime juice on top of the salad.
  • Make the peanut dressing and pour it on top of the salad. Make sure to double our peanut sauce recipe and add an extra 2 tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. This is to make it thinner so it can be used as a salad dressing. Thoroughly toss all of the ingredients. Optional: Add some grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, or avocado to your salad. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Peanut Dressing: Double our peanut sauce recipe and add an extra 2 tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk to thin it out.
