here is a great recipe for coleslaw. HOORAY! i got a run in, the sun is shining. we have family from winnipeg coming over for a bbq...and we are headed to the pool for a dip. what could make the day better....well, mike took all three kids out to hunt for wetsuits - yes we choose to vacay in canada and the water is a tad chilly....so i am alone to putter and prep dinnah for tonight......satisfying and soooo tasty. just ate a huge helping of this - v yummy. i used 2 bags of the precut coleslaw mix and added a tbsp of hoisin sauce to the dressing bc even though i cannot say it properly i love it on pretty much anything.....so enjoy!
Crunchy Peanut Slaw
1 big bowl of slaw, serves at least 8
1 medium head green cabbage, outer leaves removed
1 1/2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 bunch green onions
1 cup chopped cilantro (about two big handfuls unchopped)
Salt and pepper
Dressing:
1/2 cup light oil, like canola
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar (or more, to taste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil1 teaspoon soy sauce (or more, to taste)
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 scallions, including the green and white parts. Toss the scallions 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.
