½ cup edamame shelled
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

For the dressing:

3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoon sunflower seed butter
1.5 teaspoon sriracha
1.5 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 lime juiced
Pinch of sea salt

In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing and whisk until smooth.
Pour dressing over the salad and mix until all ingredients are coated.

Notes

*You can spiralize your own carrots, or get pre-spiralized carrot noodles (you can find these in the frozen section at Trader Joe's). OR, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin carrot ribbons.
