In a large mixing bowl,whisk together all of the dressing ingredients:lime juice,tamari,oil,maple syrup,ginger,and garlic.
Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl with the dressing and toss well to coat evenly.
Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss to combine.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic,ginger,and herbs for best flavor!
- Grate the ginger and garlic to easily incorporate them into the dressing. If you don’t have a microplane grater,mince them finely. You can also blend the dressing in a small blender for a smoother texture.
- Use store-bought coleslaw mixto save yourself prep time.
- Make sure you buy shellededamame. The pods aren’t edible,so if you buy them in the pods,you’ll have to remove the beans from the pods before adding them to the recipe. It can certainly be done,but it’s tedious and time consuming.
- Add grains or noodles to bulk it up. Add tofu or chickpeas for extra protein.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
Serves 4 as a main dish and about 6-8 as a side dish.
