Low-Carb Spicy Cilantro-Peanut Slaw
Ingredients:

  • 1/2 large head green cabbage, very finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (or more)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (use at least 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, or more)
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 2 T rice vinegar (not seasoned)
  • 1 T sweetener of your choice (I used Monkfruit Sweetener)
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. Sriracha sauce (or less, or this can be left out for a less spicy version)
  • 1/4 cup canola or peanut oil

Instructions:

  1. Cut cabbage head in half and save half for another salad. Remove core from the half you’re using, then cut cabbage into very thin slices (less than 1/4 inch) and turn cutting board the other direction and cut again to chop into very small pieces. Thinly slice green onions, chop cilantro, and chop peanuts.
  2. In a bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together rice vinegar, sweetener of your choice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and Sriracha sauce if using. Use a whisk to mix in oil until dressing is well-combined.
  3. In large plastic or glass bowl, gently combine chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Add dressing a little at a time, until salad seems as wet as you’d like it. (You may not need all the dressing.) Add chopped peanuts, and stir a few times until peanuts are mixed in. Taste salad for seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve immediately.
