  • A perfectly simple, fresh-tasting salad. I love that there is no added oils--it just uses the fat in nuts. ISince I like spice and complex, so adding cilantro and a little heat from sriracha to pump it up and black sesame seeds for color and crunch.

  • The PERFECT Whole30 salad. I topped it with grilled chicken, but I bet it would be fabulous with shrimp as well. The dressing was perfect and I loved opting for bok choy instead of the typical salad greens. Definitely will be remaking.

  • This was an amazing salad. I had it on the side with some smoked salmon and it made a beautiful and super healthy meal. I also added some radish because I wanted to up my vegetable intake. I had just run out of balsamic vinegar so instead I used little balsamic glaze and then a splash of red wine vinegar - I wasn't sure how it would turn out but the dressing was delicious.

  • Delicious salad and a nice change from traditional lettuce based salads. Only change I made was using granny smith apple (didn't get quite as lost as a red apple probably would have per previous reviews) and kept raisins whole rather than blending with the other dressing ingredients for texture variation.

  • I prepared this in a huge hurry for a 'girls only' dinner and I misread soy milk and put soy SAUCE instead. When I realized the mistake I immediately added some almond milk. Apart from the brownish colour, it was delicious :) i didn't feel the taste of the apple though but the texture is really nice. Nect time i will try the real sauce :)

  • Great recipe and so nutritious too. I didn't have almond cashew butter on hand so subbed sunflower butter. The results were very tasty! Good salad to make during the winter months when leafy greens just don't seem very apealing.

  • I made this recently and it was a big success. I used baby bok choy and also threw in an extra chopped apple. I substituted currants for raisins only because I had them, but I think either would be fine. Next time I don't think I would grate the apple, it got lost. It needs to sit a little in dressing. Everybody loved it! Very tasty and nutritious.
