  • 1 teaspoon jalapeno or fresno chili, thinly sliced and seeds removed
  • 1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, tough stems removed
  • 1/4 cup grated carrots*
  • 1/8 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado or canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce**
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • salt and pepper
Instructions:
  1. In a large bowl toss together the celery, scallion, cilantro, carrots, and peanuts.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the avocado, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the dressing with the celery mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes:

*If you don’t want to pull out your food processor or box grater, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of carrots.

** For a vegetarian/vegan alternative to fish sauce, combine 1/2 teaspoon of either low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos + 1/2 teaspoon lime juice.
