This crunchy, refreshing Thai-inspired slaw tosses shredded cabbage and carrots in a zesty peanut-lime dressing. It’s an ode to Thai street food but fully plant-based and simplified for everyday prep. It’s bright, nutty, tangy, and a little sweet — a flavor bomb that’ll have you going back for seconds.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts (unsalted), chopped
For the dressing:
- 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1–2 tbsp water (to thin if needed)
Instructions:
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add water gradually until it’s pourable but still thick.
- In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro.
- Pour dressing over veggies and toss well to coat.
- Top with chopped peanuts and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for chilled crunch.
Flavor & Texture: Crisp and fresh with a rich, creamy peanut-lime dressing and a satisfying crunch.
