30 minutes or fewer. This recipe showcases the power and versatility of the mini-chopper attachment that comes with today's immersion blenders. It's so strong that it turns unpeeled ginger into a soft pulp making the ginger-infused peanut dressing for this salad a snap.

Ingredients

Peanut Dressing

• 1 small clove garlic, peeled
• 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into eight pieces (peeling unnecessary)
• 1/3 cup unsalted, nonhydrogenated peanut butter
• 1-1/2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
• 2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Red Cabbage Slaw

• 1 8-ounce package Oriental-style baked tofu, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 6 cups shredded red cabbage
• 1 medium-sized carrot, peeled and grated
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Directions

• To make Peanut Dressing: Place garlic and ginger in mini-chopper beaker, and pulse until finely chopped. Add peanut butter, tamari, brown sugar, vinegar and 1/4 cup water, and blend until smooth. Thin with 1 tablespoon of water or more, if necessary, so that dressing is pourable.
• To make Red Cabbage Slaw: Combine all ingredients. Pour dressing over salad, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
