  1. First prepare your salad ingredients. Finely shred the cabbage (and any other crunchy veg, if using). Peel the carrots into ribbons using a speed peeler, or you can coarsely grate if you prefer. Roughly chop the cucumber into chunky pieces. Pick a few baby leaves from the mint and set aside for later. Roughly shred the rest. Toss all the veg and chopped herbs together in a large bowl.
  2. Next, make the dressing. Juice 2 of the limes and add to a small bowl with the remaining ingredients. Whisk together with a fork until combined. Add a splash of cold water to loosen – you want to make sure it’s a spreadable consistency. 
  3. Spoon the dressing into a large serving bowl, spreading it up and around the sides, then add the salad.
  4. Toss everything together and top with the baby mint leaves. Serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges, on the side for squeezing over.

EASY SWAP: Mix up this salad by using any crunchy veg you’ve got leftover – try cauliflower or Brussels sprouts

TIPS: For extra crunch add any leftover nuts and seeds you’ve got and if you’re not a fan of peanut butter, swap out for tahini – it's a great alternative
