CRUNCHY PEANUT COLESLAW

ASIAN SLAW WITH GINGER PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing (be sure the peanut butter is dissolved). Set aside.
• Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and and toss well. Let the slaw sit for at least ten minutes so the vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a bit more salt.) Serve cold. This slaw is best served fresh but leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The dressing can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time; store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

CRUNCHY PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• Shred the cabbage very finely. The fineness of the shredded cabbage is really what makes this salad; you want it in in threads, almost, and with the threads chopped into bite-size lengths.
• Toss with the peanuts in a large bowl.
• Chop the green onions, including the green and white parts.
• Toss the onions and chopped cilantro with the cabbage, seasoning very lightly with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the dressing until emulsified, then taste and adjust to your own preferences of sweetness and saltiness.
• Toss with the cabbage. Garnish with a few more peanuts and serve.
