Spicy Cilantro Peanut Slaw
Ingredients:
1/2 large head green cabbage, finely chopped
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (see notes)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing:
2 T rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 T sweetener of your choice (see notes)
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. Sriracha sauce (see notes)
1/4 cup vegetable or peanut oil
Directions:
Cut cabbage head in half and save half for another salad.
Remove core from the half you’re using, then cut cabbage into very thin slices (less than 1/4 inch. Turn cutting board the other direction and cut again to chop into very small pieces.
Thinly slice green onions, chop cilantro, and chop peanuts.
In a bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together rice vinegar, sweetener of your choice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and Sriracha Sauce sauce if using.
Use a whisk to mix in oil until dressing is well-combined.
In large plastic or glass bowl, gently combine chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Add dressing a little at a time, until salad seems as wet as you’d like it. Add chopped peanuts, and stir a few times until peanuts are mixed in.
Taste salad for seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired.
