Ingredients for the salad:

  • 1 kaki, cut into strips

  • Juice of at least 1/2 lime; the tanginess of lime is fantastic here

  • 1 tea spoon of fish sauce or tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos

  • 1 tea spoon of unrefined sugar like coconut or panela but honey works too

  • Roughly chopped or torn coriander or basil leaves, or a combination of both

  • Handful of peanuts or cashews

Method:

  1. Dressing: in small jar, combine lime juice, fish sauce, sugar or honey and combine by shaking well. Pour over the kaki and coat well.

  2. Arrange the dressed kaki on a plate. Sprinkle with leaves of choice and top with peanuts or cashews; best when they are chopped and slightly roasted but this is optional.

Works well with frilled meats and fish, especially pan seared tuna.
