Best 3 Crunchy Peanut Slaw Recipes

**Peanut Slaw: A Culinary Symphony of Sweet, Crunchy, and Tangy Flavors**

Peanut slaw is a delightful salad dish that tantalizes the taste buds with its vibrant blend of sweet, crunchy, and tangy flavors. This culinary creation boasts a base of shredded cabbage, offering a crisp and refreshing texture. Accenting the cabbage are julienned carrots, adding a pop of color and a touch of sweetness. The true star of the show, however, is the crunchy peanut topping, a medley of roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and crispy chow mein noodles. This topping provides a delightful textural contrast to the slaw's softness and adds a nutty, savory dimension to each bite.

To elevate the slaw's flavors even further, a tangy dressing is drizzled over the top. This dressing, a harmonious marriage of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices, binds all the elements of the slaw together and elevates it to a dish that is both refreshing and satisfying. Whether served as a side dish or enjoyed as a light lunch, peanut slaw is sure to leave a lasting impression with its irresistible combination of flavors and textures.

Yield 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

¼ cup honey
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter (I like Skippy Natural No Need to Stir)
Heaping ½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
4 cups prepared shredded coleslaw
2 cups prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, finely sliced
½ cup chopped salted peanuts (or you can leave them whole)
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing (be sure the peanut butter is dissolved). Set aside.
Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and and toss well. Let the slaw sit for at least ten minutes so the vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I usually add a bit more salt.) Serve cold. This slaw is best served fresh but leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days.
Make-Ahead Instructions: The dressing can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time; store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

CRUNCHY PEANUT SLAW

Crunchy Peanut Slaw image

Gotta love this crunchy cabbage slaw. It is super simple mix of cabbage, peanuts, and rice vinegar with oil. It's all in how you cut the cabbage: it should be light and feathery, delicate and yet satisfying at the same time. Modified from Apartment Therapy. LOVE IT!

Ingredients

1 medium head green cabbage, outer leaves removed
1 1/2 cups unsalted peanuts
2 bunches green onions
1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
salt and pepper
1/2 cup light oil, like canola
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar (or more, to taste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce (or more, to taste)

Steps:

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 green onions, including the green and white parts.
Toss the onions 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.
