INSTRUCTIONS
- Place all the veggies, herbs, and green onions into a large bowl. Toss in the roasted peanuts and mix well. Place into the refrigerator.
- To make the dressing, zest and juice the orange and set aside. Juice the lime and add to the orange juice. You should have about ½ cup of citrus juice. Then add the juice and all the rest of the ingredients except the peanut butter into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add peanut butter, and pulse until combined. Pour into a glass mason jar.
- Toss the salad ingredients with as much dressing as you like and serve immediately.
NOTES
Honey contains fructose. Northern latitude honey (clover, raspberry, alfalfa) contain a closer ratio of fructose to glucose than tropical honey (like the honey that Monash University tested and noted as a high fodmap food). Since northern latitude honey contains a closer ratio of fructose to glucose, this improves fructose absorption and we find that many people with fructose intolerance can enjoy a small amount of northern latitude honey. Please try this and see how you do (easy enough to test out in tea, like Rooibos tea). Guest Guru Patsy Catsos recommends to her patients and readers, to not include honey. If you were referred to GutRxGurus by Patsy, please omit honey from this recipe. We're happy to make a suitable substitution suggestion. Feel free to post a question in the forum!
