Best 3 Asian Slaw With Ginger Peanut Dressing Recipes

Tantalize your taste buds with a vibrant and refreshing Asian slaw that bursts with bold flavors. This delightful dish combines the crunch of shredded cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers with the sweetness of pineapple and the nutty flavor of peanuts. Dressed in a luscious ginger peanut dressing, this slaw offers a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy notes.

Alongside the main Asian slaw recipe, you'll also discover variations that cater to different dietary preferences. For a vegan option, the dressing is prepared using almond butter instead of peanut butter, creating an equally delicious and creamy sauce. If you're watching your carbs, a low-carb version of the slaw is included, featuring broccoli slaw mix in place of traditional coleslaw mix. And for those with a spicy palate, a spicy Szechuan slaw recipe brings a fiery kick to the classic slaw, using Szechuan sauce and red pepper flakes for an extra zing.
