Crunchy Peanut Slaw

Kimke's Note:

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:

Servings: 6

• 1 medium head green cabbage , outer leaves removed
• 1 ½ cups unsalted peanuts
• 2 bunches green onions
• 1 ½ cups chopped cilantro
• salt and pepper

Dressing

• ½ 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)

Directions:

1. 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.
2. Toss with the peanuts in a large bowl.
3. Chop the green onions, including the green and white parts.
4. Toss the onions and chopped cilantro with the cabbage, seasoning very lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Whisk the dressing until emulsified, then taste and adjust to your own preferences of sweetness and saltiness.
6. Toss with the cabbage. Garnish with a few more peanuts and serve.
