Lime and Peanut Cole Slaw
"This is going to become your favorite cole slaw! This is so tasty! Cabbage, kissed by lime juice, add in some freshly roasted peanuts, and you have a numero uno dish! Serve it with BBQ's, pot lucks, picnics, or just when you want to impress someone! No mayo to have to worry about sitting outside for hours. Make this at your next family get-together! If you would rather not use the jalapeno pepper, offer ground cayenne or your favorite hot sauce."
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups unsalted raw peanuts
- 1⁄2 medium heads of cabbage or 1/2 large head of cabbage
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed and quartered
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 3⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- fine-grain sea salt
directions
- In a skillet or oven (350°F.) roast the peanuts for 5 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice along the way, until golden and toasted.
- Cut the cabbage into two quarters and cut out the core. Using a knife, shred each quarter into whisper thin slices. The key here is bite-sized and thin. If any pieces look like they might be awkwardly long, cut those in half . Combine the cabbage, tomatoes, jalapeno,(if using), and cilantro in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil and salt. Add to the cabbage mixture and gently stir to combine. Just before serving, fold in the peanuts (add them too early and they'll lose some of their crunch). Taste and adjust the flavor with more salt if needed.

We thought this was just ok. The Flavor of the peanuts did not seem to go with the other ingredients. -
We belong to a CSA, and had fresh peanuts and cherry tomatoes coimng in this week's farmer's basket. I did a search here for those ingredients, and found your recipe- made it for dinner tonight- substituted a dash of cayenne pepper for the jalapeno- delicious! Thanks for posting! -
I have made this a few times & we just love it! I usually add 2 or jalapenos/serranos. Thanks for posting!

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
