Make the dressing. Add the water, carrots, almond butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, miso paste and sesame oil to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Add another tablespoon or two of water for thinner dressing.
Make the salad. Add the quinoa, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, peppers, scallions, cilantro, mint and almonds to a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and toss until well combined. **If meal prepping, you can wait until you serve to add the dressing, just store the salad and the dressing separately.
