Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any residue and prevent bitterness.
Step 2
Combine the rinsed quinoa with turmeric and black pepper in a pot, and cook according to the instructions on your quinoa package. Allow the cooked quinoa to cool down.
Step 3
While the quinoa is cooking, shred the red cabbage using a vegetable peeler. Mix the shredded cabbage with 1/2 tsp of lime juice, and massage with your hands until it turns bright pink.
Step 4
Blend the almond butter, lime juice, ginger, tamari, maple syrup, and water in a small blender until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, grate the ginger and whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Step 5
Prepare three containers and layer in the following order for optimum freshness: the sauce, edamame, quinoa, red bell pepper, cabbage, green onions, mint, and cashews. When ready to eat, give it a shake and top with avocado.
