Ingredients
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 1/2-inch piece)
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
1 cup raw cashews, coarsely chopped (5 ounces)
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 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

Preparation
For the Cashew-Chickpea Crunch: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together cashew butter, olive oil, miso, tamari, and ginger. Add chickpeas, cashews, and sesame seeds; toss to combine. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until crunchy and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
For the Salad: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add cabbage, radishes, and cilantro; toss to coat. Fold in mandarins and season. Serve salad topped with chickpea crunch.
