Thai Peanut Slaw

Thai Peanut Slaw

This is a delicious take on traditional cole slaw. It’s crunchy and refreshing and has just the right amount of spicy Peanut flavor. Perfect as a side or for a full meal topped with slices of grilled tofu or vegan chicken. It was so good I just ate it as a salad!
