Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpeas a 13.5 ounce can works well
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 small cucumbers
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- fresh cilantro

- 1 tbsp salted peanuts

Creamy Peanut Dressing
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp tamari

- 2 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions
- In a small bowl combine all ingredients for dressing, whisk until well incorporated and creamy. Add enough water to thin, typically I use about 2 tbsp sometimes as much as a 1/4 cup depending on how thick the peanut butter is. Taste and make sure the dressing still has a big punch of flavor.
- To prepare jar salads place ingredients evenly in 4 jars in this order:dressing, chickpeas, carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, bell peppers, cilantro, mint, and peanuts. Top with a wedge of lime.
- When ready to eat: shake jar and then give it a good stir to incorporate all of the dressing. Top with additional lime juice.
- Jars will keep well in fridge for up to 6 days.
