Ingredients Cashew-Chickpea Crunch 2 tablespoons creamy cashew butter, such as Fix & Fogg 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1 ½-inch piece) 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry 1 cup raw cashews, coarsely chopped (5 ounces) 3 tablespoons sesame seeds Salad ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece) 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 5 cups finely shredded Savoy or red cabbage, or a combination 5 medium radishes (2 ounces), trimmed and julienned (¾ cup) ½ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and thin stems, coarsely chopped 6 small mandarin oranges (about 12 ounces total), peels and pith removed, separated into segments Directions For the Cashew-Chickpea Crunch: Preheat oven to 425°F.
