Asian Cabbage & Sprout Salad with Agave Soy Ginger Dressing

This is a Yummy salad! With most recipes I improvise with what I have and this is a great recipe to do that with. This salad is delicious and can be used as a side dish or as a main course (just by adding chicken). The dressing has a wonderful Asian flavor and can be used as a dressing on mixed greens as well.

Serves 6-8
Ingredients:

Salad:
1/2 head green cabbage
1/2 head red cabbage
2 carrots, julienned
2 cups bean sprouts
2 cups snow peas
1 red pepper, diced
2 grilled chicken breasts, cubed (optional)

Dressing:
1/3 cup Xagave
1/3 cup white rice vinegar (unsweetened)
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use Bragg's Liquid Aminos)
1 tsp. fresh chopped garlic
1 tsp. fresh chopped ginger root
1 tsp. hot chile oil
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Garnish:
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Steps:
Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl and mix. Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend. Pour dressing over salad mix, toss and sprinkle sesame seeds over top.

Tips and Notes: This salad and dressing will taste delicious for several days.
