Ingredients

For the salad:

1 teaspoon chili crunch oil
1 teaspoon honey
pinch of salt
½ green cabbage, finely chopped
¼ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
3 cups spinach, chopped
4 persian cucumbers, diced

For the dressing:

1 cup spinach
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon diced jalapeno

Instructions

Start by toasting the cashews in a small pan over medium heat. Allow the cashews to cook for about 3-4 minutes, shaking consistently to lightly brown the pecans. While they are cooking, add a piece of parchment paper to a plate and have the chili crunch oil, honey and sea salt ready. Immediately after removing the cashews from the heat, add to the parchment paper lined plate, and toss with chili crunch oil, honey and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add green cabbage, parsley, spinach, cucumbers and chives. Top with spicy cashews.
To make the dressing- combine greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon, dijon mustard, honey, fresh herbs, spinach, green onions, salt, black pepper and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad.
Toss to combine. Serve with crispy chicken if desired.

Notes

Spinach in the salad can be replaced with kale or even finely chopped romaine if desired!
