For the Spicy Almond Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter), 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, the juice of 1 squeezed lime, salt & pepper to taste, 1 tsp sriracha, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1/2 tbsp water until smooth.
To assemble the salad: Combine the roasted chickpeas, spicy almond butter sauce, bell pepper, cabbage, avocado, and shredded carrots in a bowl.
