THAI-STYLE PEANUT CABBAGE SALAD

Thai-Style Peanut Cabbage Salad image

A spicy, crunchy salad with peanuts not peanut butter. If you are like me and don't like raw garlic, you can saute it for 30 seconds to a minute before using. It just seems to get too intense for my taste if allowed to sit for any amount of time.
