Nutty Salad
My version of a Fresh salad I found on Pinterest. My version didn't look anything like the original recipe because I used what I could find in my grocery store, and I made it to my taste. I thought it was yummy! It was a salad that I pretty much ran most everything through the food processor, so making it was easy! Here's a link to the original recipe: http://canadiangiftguide.com/2011/10/14/foodie-fridays-fresh/

In food processor, or with a cutting board, shred the first 5 ingredients and put them in a large bowl. Rinse out your food processor and make the dressing. If you don't have a food processor you can use a blender. To make the dressing pulse all the ingredients except for the sunflower oil. Once everything has been pureed, drizzle the sunflower oil in the thin stream until the dressing is emulsified. Chop all the nuts on a chopping board, add the peanuts to the large salad bowl, set aside nuts for the toppings. Slice lime. You can serve the salad, dressing, toppings, and lime separately if you wish, or you can dump it all together in a great big bowl and mix it all up. I actually drizzled only half of the dressing I made onto the salad, mixed it all up, and served the toppings and lime wedges separate so the topping didn't get soggy.
