Ingredients

Salad
1 cup red cabbage, sliced very thinly
6 snow pea pods, quickly blanched then cut into matchsticks
1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
1 red pepper, cut in matchsticks
1 shallots, sliced very thinly or 1 scallion, sliced into matchsticks
1 stalk celery, sliced into matchsticks
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 slice ginger (quarter size piece)
1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup light olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
Garnish
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Put all salad ingredients into a bowl.
Into a blender add all of the dressing ingredients and blend till creamy smooth.
It will be on the thin side.
If not using rice vinegar use less of what you do use because I find rice vinegar is milder.
Add to salad and toss to coat,chill till ready to serve final toss& then top with seeds and serve.
