Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp natural-style peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 lime, juiced (about 2 Tbsp juice)
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 8 oz whole wheat spaghetti
  • 4 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Steps

  1. In a bowl or blender, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, and oil. Whisk or blend until smooth to make the dressing; set aside.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Break spaghetti in half and cook until tender.
  3. Drain the pasta and rinse briefly with cold water to cool. Let drain well.
  4. Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. Chop the cilantro and peanuts. Slice the green onions.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with cabbage, carrots, cilantro, green onions, and peanuts. Toss to combine.
  6. Serve immediately with the peanut lime dressing, or store undressed salad and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

For meal prep, divide salad into containers (about 2 cups each) and dressing into smaller containers (about 2 Tbsp each).
