Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup mint
1 whole serrano pepper
1/2 red onion
4 green onions
3/4 cup cashews
1 whole lime
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic
1 small serrano pepper
2 tsp fresh ginger
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp lime juice

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F, halve the squash, remove the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet.
Roast the squash for 35 to 40 minutes, until the flesh separates easily into strands.
Whisk the garlic, ginger, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, coconut milk, lime juice, and oil in a bowl.
Slice the cilantro, mint, serrano peppers, red onion, and green onions while the squash roasts.
Cool the squash for 10 minutes, scrape it into strands, and toss it with the vegetables and dressing.
Top the salad with cashews and lime, then chill or serve at room temperature.
