Summer's (almost) officially here! And you know what that means? Picnics, BBQs and other fun potlucks you'll be invited to or hosting! Besides the mandatory - and very welcome - cocktails + burgers you'll also need sides ideas! This Asian slaw with Ginger Peanut Dressing is ready to be the star of your party.
This gluten-free salad recipe is a delicious Asian twist on the classic coleslaw – we're keeping the typical combo green cabbage + carrots but also adding other veggies like bell peppers and red peppers.
But what really makes a big difference here is the Asian slaw dressing!
No cream, no mayo for my Asian coleslaw dressing! (Hello, it's me! I just couldn't ????). We're going in a completely different direction using peanut butter and other Thai inspired ingredients like ginger, lime, tamari, coconut oil... all the good things!
This Asian slaw dressing is fresh, it's healthy and a little bird told me you'd love it. Would you?
And girls, honestly? No need for a summer party to make this Asian slaw ... it tastes just as good if it's just you on a casual weeknight (I test-tasted it with my mom on a Wednesday night haha).
The beauty of this easy salad is that it goes with so many mains! Pork chops, white fish, chicken patties, burgers...you name it.
Enjoy 🙂
