Good to know

A salad like this takes little effort and still tastes exciting. The sauce is creamy, the lime brings freshness, and the okra gives the whole thing a special texture.

Swaps

Peanut butter → almond butter (also provides unsaturated fats and vitamin E); soy sauce → tamari (similar flavour, often gluten-free); sesame seeds → chopped cashews (bring magnesium and a bit more bite); glass noodles → rice noodles (similarly delicate, slightly different texture)

Allergens
