Meat Free Monday: Asian Coleslaw

Healthy Eating· Recipes

We’ve featured a coleslaw here before, Celeste’s Chinese Cabbage Salad.  So here comes number two.  It’s similar, but the addition of peanut butter and ginger in the dressing reminds me very much of the salad dressing at one of our favorite Japanese steakhouse and sushi restaurants. 

I came across this recipe when searching for something to make for a cookout we had with my family this weekend.  My mom marinated some ribs (meat, gasp!) in an Asian-style sauce, so I wanted to make something to go along with the “theme”.  This salad/coleslaw was a hit.  I liked it so much that I’ve made myself another batch of the dressing to have on hand for future salads!  So even though I made it as a side dish this weekend, it can easily be incorporated into a main dish salad.

To save on time, I bought a pre-packaged cole slaw mix, but you can also follow the recipe below to make your own slaw.

Another suggestion…do not mix the dressing with the slaw until you are ready to serve.  After sitting around for a while, the slaw gets a little less crunchy and a lot more brown!  It tastes much better fresh!

  • 6 Tbs rice wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 5 Tbs creamy peanut butter

  • 1 1/2 Tbs minced garlic

 

Slaw (or use pre-packaged slaw mix):

Directions:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic.

Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent becaus Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent because I started the year off with a cold that left me tired and unmotivated. But I’m feeling better and starting my goal tracking a little late. I thought it would be helpful to combine all our goal trackers into one file for easy downloading and printing. The link to the all-in-one file can be found in our profile @everydayroadtohealthy ☝🏼. Swipe to see January printed at 75% and taped inside my planner. I’m hoping this works better for me this year!
💚 Start where you are. 🤎
