This recipe gets tons of compliments every time it is served, without fail. It’s a perfect way to dress up raw cabbage; simple, yet it lends itself to countless variations depending on what you’ve got on hand. Read more . I use a half of a head of cabbage for 3-4 people, a whole cabbage for 5-10 people, and add a bit more from there depending on the crowd. Other ingredients you can add to make the salad larger include pineapple, finely chopped broccoli, shredded carrots and red onion. To make it a meal you can add cubes of tofu or chicken. Ingredients:
1/2 to 2 heads of cabbage; green or purple or both |
1 cup peanuts, or 1/2 cup fresh peanut butter |
1 inch cube of fresh ginger or 1-4 cloves garlic (or both) |
1/4 - 1/2 cup soy sauce |
1/4 - 1/3 cup olive oil |
juice of one lime (optional) |
handful of chopped cilantro (optional) |
water for thinning |
Directions:
1. Core the cabbage and thinly slice it.
2. Combine peanuts, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oil, and lime. Blend until smooth.
3. Add water to the peanut mixture until the consistency is like a thick dressing.
4. Toss dressing with the cabbage and garnish with cilantro. Taste before serving, and adjust seasoning as necessary. If needed, toss with a little more soy sauce. To increase peanut taste, just toss with chopped toasted peanuts.
