Low Carb Crunchy Thai Almond Salad with Cauliflower Rice + Tofu
This salad is so full of amazing flavors and textures. The salad features cabbage, carrots, snap peas, and green onions. The cabbage and carrots make the salad very crunchy and helps to offset the cauliflower rice. It is tossed into almond butter, soy, lime, and rice vinegar dressing that is so savory and amazing. I paired this with tofu to make it a main dish, but it can be eaten as a side or paired with any protein like chicken or shrimp. The recipe says basil but use Thai basil. For the soy sauce, use tamari which is wheat-free and gluten-free.

It would be nice if we could delete or alter the recipe as I don’t like tofu and would like to see macros entered without it

Tasty! As other have said its a nice break from the usual low-carb fare. I have a suggestion: Drain your tofu. This is pretty standard for pan frying, so I think the recipe assumes this is known. It won't hurt anything not to do it, draining the tofu will help it really crisp up in the pan and reduce moisture induced oil splatter

Also, if you want to double this recipe so you can increase the serving size (2 servings/day) and cover the week (8 servings total), I strongly suggest doubling just the tofu and not the salad. I ended up freezing half the salad because it was too much for me to eat. 😂

DeLish! Can you give a better serving size? As in 1/2 cup or cup?

Lovely VEGAN option. The combo of all the herbs makes it. Nice break from meat choices.

It looks fabulous and I am keen to try it. Does it last well/long in the fridge ? (prepping for work day meals)

Awesome! Very tasty. We don’t care much for mint and left it out and it was very good.

I made this today instead of almonds and tofu I did walnuts and chicken plus I added sweet chili sauce with extra kick six and I use the broccoli slaw that had the red cabbage and carrots and it was amazing!

Love this salad! I left out snow peas and didn’t have mint to add, it was still very delicious. I also made it with peanut butter, so good.

Really yummy!!! The recipe doesn’t say it, but add the almond butter with the soy sauce, etc. Forgot to add the mint and it was still really good! I used precut cabbage and carrots which made it very easy.
