1 cup diced mango
1/3 an english cucumber, sliced & halved
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp green onion, sliced
1/3 cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
Dressing (makes about 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup creamy cashew butter
2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
pinch of ground ginger
juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp water
salt to taste (IF your cashew butter is unsalted)
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Combine all of the salad ingredients in a big bowl and toss together so everything is evenly distributed.
In a food processor or blender combine all the dressing ingredient and blend/process until smooth and creamy. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well.
Enjoy!

Could I sub the cashew butter for tahini or peanut butter? Thinking of what is already in my pantry.
