Servings: 6 servings
- 1 head of cabbage, about 5-6 cups of shredded cabbage
- 3-4 green onions sliced
- 1 medium-sized red bell pepper chopped
- 1 bunch of fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit, honey, or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1/3 cup PB2 or PBfit (Powdered Peanut Butter)
- red pepper flakes optional
Shred the cabbage or use store-bought shredded cabbage. If you use a mandoline to slice the cabbage make sure to use a guard and be careful. Or, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage.
Wash and dry the green onions, red bell pepper, cilantro, and carrots. Slice the green onions. Then, chop the red bell pepper into small pieces. Next, finely chop the cilantro. After that, peel and grate the carrots or use store-bought grated carrots.
Add your sweetener of choice, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce or tamari sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic to a bowl. Whisk these ingredients together.
Add the PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter or PBfit to the bowl with the dressing and whisk it in. Make sure the dressing is thoroughly combined. Optional: Add some red pepper flakes to the dressing to kick it up a notch.
Place the shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, chopped red bell pepper, and grated carrots in a large bowl. Toss these ingredients together. Then, pour the peanut dressing over the coleslaw. Mix the coleslaw with the dressing and enjoy!
- Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Serving: This Asian coleslaw with peanut dressing is best enjoyed fresh after making it. If you would like to make the slaw and dressing ahead of time you can let both of them chill separately in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving. When you are ready to serve the dish, just combine the slaw and dressing.
