Instructions
- Shred pumpkin and green papaya in long strips with a julienne peeler or a spiralizer.
- Clean and cut all the other salad ingredients and place them in iced water to allow them to crisp up and bring out the fresh crunchy taste.
- Combine all the salad ingredients in a mixing bowl and start preparing the dressing.
- To prepare the dressing, combine the cashews in a high speed blender or a grinder with a little water until pureed.
- Combine the pureed cashews with all the other dressing ingredients. According to your taste, you can play around on how sweet, sour or spicy you like it. Keep in mind that when you add the dressing to the salad it’s going to have a stronger flavor because the raw veggies can absorb more of the dressing.
- Season your raw Pad Thai with the dressing and enjoy!!
