Ingredients

Your favorite veggies, cut up in small pieces. I like to use broccoli, bok choy, pea pods, carrots, peas, corn, red pepper, red onion, bean sprouts and cilantro.

Sauce

• 1 cup raw almond butter
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/3 cup lime juice (about 3), including zest
• 3 Tablespoons low sodium tamari
• 4-6 cloves garlic
• 2 inch piece of ginger
• 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
• 6 dates
• 10-20 mint leaves
• Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
• 1/2 cup water (or water from a Thai young coconut)
• Chopped almonds and bean sprouts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, adding only enough water to allow the blender to process. Pour over vegetables and coat well. Top with beans sprouts, chopped almonds and more cilantro, if desired. 

Chef's Note: Even better the next day after the flavors have a chance to marinate.
