Asian Slaw Salad

Definitely a favorite!


Ingredients::


For the Dressing

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (I like Skippy Natural No Need to Stir)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • large garlic clove, minced


For the Slaw

  • 4 cups prepared shredded coleslaw
  • 2 cups prepared shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
  • medium scallions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts (or you can leave them whole)
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro


Combine coleslaw, shredded carrots, red pepper, edamame, scallions, cilantro and peanuts in a large bowl. Top with dressing and let sit for 10 minutes so the veggies can soak up the dressing.

Top with sesame seeds.

Sooooo good.
