Asian Cabbage Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Filed Under: COOK, Salads, Uncategorized

You know, I love salad anytime of the year but I get tired of the same old kind all the time. So, I like to switch things up. This Asian Cabbage Salad is a great change from the usual. The warm spicy peanut dressing really takes it to the next level.

Asian Cabbage Salad with Warm Spicy Peanut Dressing

Not only is this a great side dish for pretty much any meal, but it’s perfect for a plant-based main dish for lunch or dinner, or to take to a potluck. My friend Marnie used to serve this at every get-together and we all requested the recipe!
