Thai Peanut Salad!

Ok...so I know I have said over and over how much I like things I make...but this is by far my FAVORITE! David gave it an "8" out of ten. We ate this for dinner. This is from Original Fast Foods Website (http://www.danielschallenge.com/) I made a few slight changes, but it is super great! I can't wait to make it again when all my family comes into town this weekend. Here you go!

Salad Ingredients:

1.5 C. shredded carrots

1 medium zucchini, cut into thin matchsticks

1.5 sprouted mung beans (learn how to easily sprout beans, HERE).

6 Cups shredded Napa cabbage

1.2 C. cilantro, finely chopped

1/2 bunch green onions, chopped

1/4 C. sesame seeds (more for garnish)

2 T. rice vinegar
