Ingredients:

  • 4 cups purple cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups apples, julienned (preferably a crisp variety like Granny Smith)
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup peanuts, roughly chopped (optional for garnish)

For the Peanut Butter Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Water as needed to thin the dressing

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded purple cabbage, julienned apples, shredded carrot, and sliced green onions. Toss everything together until well mixed.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic. You may need to add water gradually until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Pour the peanut butter dressing over the slaw mixture. Toss everything until the vegetables and apples are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. If desired, top with chopped peanuts for an added crunch and flavor.
  5. Allow the slaw to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving; this will help the flavors to meld together.
