Thai Peanut Coleslaw Salad [Oil Free]
Description
The Thai Peanut Coleslaw Salad [Oil Free] showcases vibrant shredded red and green cabbages mixed with shredded carrots, tender chickpeas, red onion, and fresh cilantro for herbal brightness. The dressing combines smooth peanut butter with tamari, rice vinegar, lime juice, sriracha, garlic powder, and ginger to create a thick, flavorful coating that enhances the salad's crunchy texture.
The vegetables remain crisp beneath a creamy, slightly spicy peanut dressing that binds the flavors together without oil. This salad serves well as a side or light lunch, bringing fresh, tangy, nutty, and mildly spicy notes in each bite.
To maintain optimal crispness, dress the salad only when ready to serve, stirring well to evenly coat the ingredients. Leftover dressed salad can be refrigerated for up to two days but is best fresh. Purchasing pre-shredded vegetables can reduce prep time.
