Ingredients

Scale

Salad

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts

Peanut Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, thinly sliced cucumber, chopped fresh cilantro, and chopped fresh mint. Toss gently to mix all the fresh ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the peanut dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  3. Dress the salad: Pour the prepared peanut dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
  4. Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts over the top of the salad to add a delightful crunch and extra peanut flavor.
  5. Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after dressing to maintain its crisp textures and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can add cooked shrimp or chicken for added protein if desired.
  • Chilling the salad for 10 minutes before serving can enhance the flavors but may soften the vegetables slightly.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of chili flakes or a sliced fresh chili to the peanut dressing.
