Carrot Cabbage Salad (cont.)• Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core of one of the quarters. Peel the
carrots and asparagus. You don’t have to peel the asparagus; I just do it because it looks prettier that way.
• Now, set up your food processor and use the disc that has one slit for the cabbage and the disc that has lots of holes for the carrots. You can slice the cabbage thin if you don’t have a food processor and grate the carrots. I like to lightly steam the asparagus first or even throw the whole stalks into the boiling pasta water and cook for two minutes before the pasta goes in. You can leave them raw if you like.
• Rinsetheasparagusandwhenit’scool,chopinto1⁄2inchpieces.Chopyourcucumberup about the same size and thinly slice the red onion and cut the rings into quarters.
• Put all the veggies into the bowl with the pasta and refrigerate until you are ready to eat.
• To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a little mini food processor or just whisk together in a bowl. (I included the peanut butter when I made the sauce and because it was natural peanut butter it was a little too dry to whisk so I dumped all the ingredients in the little mini processor and let it whirl.) It’s a wet dressing, not super-thick but it perfectly coats all the pasta and vegetables.
• When you’re ready to eat, pour the dressing on the salad and toss it all together. Sprinkle the herbs on top and some toasted sesame seeds.
TIPS• There are some perfectly fine gluten-free pasta alternatives available. You could also
use buckwheat soba noodles. If you want to keep it totally raw, use shredded zucchini or cucumber.
• Be creative with your ingredients. Think chopped red or yellow peppers, broccoli, zucchini, celery, dark, chopped leafy greens—all would be wonderful in this salad.
• If you don’t like tahini, just use the peanut or almond butter.
