GREEN MANGO SLAW WITH CASHEWS

SERVES 4 PREP 35 minutes

Cashews are not actually nuts. This rich golden treat is the seed found at the bottom of the cashew apple. Cashews are a tremendous source of oleic acid—a monounsaturated fatty acid that is great for heart health and beneficial for those with diabetes. Despite being so high in oleic acid, cashews are lower in fat, on the whole, than other ingredients classed as nuts.

Make Ahead

Vegan

FOR THE DRESSING

1 cup canned lite coconut milk

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 tablespoons almond butter

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon Mild Curry Powder (here)

FOR THE SALAD

3 cups fresh spinach

2 green mangos, peeled, pitted, and julienned

1 jicama, shredded

1 carrot, shredded, or ½ cup preshredded packaged carrots

1 scallion, white and green parts, julienned

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

¼ cup chopped cashews, for garnish

TO MAKE THE DRESSING

In a small bowl, whisk the coconut milk, lime juice, almond butter, ginger, and curry powder until well blended. Set it aside.

TO MAKE THE SALAD

1. In a large bowl, toss together the spinach, mangos, jicama, carrot, and scallion.

2. Add the dressing and toss to coat.

3. Serve topped with the cilantro and cashews.

SUBSTITUTION TIP Omit the cashews as a garnish if tree nuts are a concern. For a little satisfying crunch, top the salad with the same quantity of pumpkin seeds instead.

INGREDIENT TIP If you are new to green mango, it’s easy to work with. Simply peel it with a vegetable peeler and shred or julienne as needed for the recipe.
