This is another fantastic summer side dish. Perfect for a picnic, or BBQ. I made this for the Fourth, along with macaroni salad & balsamic ribs. Being as that was nearly 2 weeks ago...I am pretty far behind in my posts. With the Bozos out of school & summer activities in full swing, I am swamped!
Like the macaroni salad, this can be a make ahead dish. I recommend adding the dressing shortly before you serve it. If it's left on too long, it will be soggy. I found the recipe on "the kitchn" website & they recommended slicing the cabbage very, very thin. You want it to be almost thread-like & then cut into small enough lengths, that it's easy to eat, picnic-style.

Begin by removing the outer leaves from a head of white cabbage. Then, slice each quarter into very thin slices. Place into a large mixing bowl & toss it around to separate the cabbage pieces.
Add in 1 1/2 cups of salted, roasted peanuts & toss again.

Seeing as how I detest mayo and love peanuts...I love this recipe! Definitely good for a bbq
Ok, this is going on the to-make list. Scallions + cilantro + peanuts is impossible to resist...
I like all of the flavours in this Asian style slaw!
