1/2 tsp

1/2 tsp

1 1/2 cups
water
1 tbsp
Crystal margarine
1/2 tsp
salt
6 cups
shredded red cabbage
1 cup
diced granny smith apple (about 1 medium)
1 cup
diced cucumber
1 cup

4
green onions, sliced
1 cup
walnuts, toasted

directions

Dressing:

  1. Add the vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic, cumin and coriander to a blender (or a bowl, if using a handheld blender) and blend until garlic is finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the Crystal margarine. Pour into a large bowl, or simply set aside if dressing was blended in the bowl.

Salad:

  1. Place the amaranth, water, Crystal margarine, and salt in a medium-sized pot with a tight fitting lid. Place over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until all the water is absorbed; about 20 minutes.
  2. Grease a baking sheet with Crystal margarine. Spread the cooked amaranth on the baking sheet and set aside to cool.
  3. Add the cabbage, apple, cucumber, carrot and green onion to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine. Add cooked amaranth and walnuts; toss again.
  4. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Chef’s Notes:

  • If you do not have a blender, finely mince the garlic and whisk together all the ingredients except the Crystal margarine in a large bowl. Whisking continuously, slowly pour in the the margarine until fully combined
