Very good! I used only cabbage from the bag and it was still pretty and tasted wonderful.

I cannot see how anyone would not give this recipe 5 stars. I believe the key to all the complaints regarding the heaviness of the dressing is setting it on the side and using it at will. Everything is super fresh, and the dressing has enough vinegar to make it light enough. If it's still too thick for your taste halve the oil and add water to desired texture. This really is an amazing recipe.

It was a hit everytime I made it. Getting the coleslaw mix from Costco or Sam's Club will save you a lot of chopping time.

I took this to a BBQ potluck occasion, and I didn't see everyone's reaction, but the bowl was empty when I packed up to go home! The dressing is outstanding. I used crunchy peanut butter in it, and I put it in a jar and mixed it into the salad when I arrived. I also used a bag of prepared coleslaw, a bag of broccoli slaw, and a bag of shredded carrots with the other ingredients. Very tasty. Thanks for a good one!

One of the better Asian coleslaws I've had. The dressing was a little heavy, so I'd scale back next time. Also added Ramen noodles for more crunch.

I recommend using a bit less peanut butter (I used 3 Tbsp.) for a better consistency. I liked this a lot as a side dish for asian marinated seafood or terriyaki chicken. Good with the addition of peanuts. Do not mix the dressing in until you are ready to serve or the cabbage mixture will become soggy. I used a mixture of bagged cole slaw mix, broccoli slaw, shredded carrots.

I use the recipe just for the sauce because it is delish! I scale the recipe down and use crunchy peanut butter, which gives the salad a great texture. However, the salad gets soggy really quickly, but it's perfect for eating right away.

Wow! I used crunchy peanut butter and it was delicious, my new favorite. Will use to make wraps with chicken, serve as a side and wrap in lettuce cups and spring rolls.

My family did not care for this recipe at all. Way too much peanut butter you couldn't taste anything else. What a waste of time and ingredients.

This was so good. I took it to a party and everyone loved it. I just used bagged coleslaw and carrots because that's what I had. This dish sat out all day and still tasted good, so I'm sure I'll be making it all summer. I also marinated chicken in the same ingredients as the dressing and ate that alongside the salad.

This was delicious. I did make a few substitutions: raw almond butter for peanut butter, 100% pure maple syrup for brown sugar, and olive oil for vegetable oil. I also had half of a yellow pepper that needed to be used, so I tossed it in with the red. It's a beautiful salad, and the flavors blend well. I don't like raw onion, but I went ahead and put it in (green parts only), and it wasn't strong at all. For those who thought the sauce was too thick and/or overpowering, the almond butter is much lighter and thinner (and healthier), but you still get that great nutty flavor.

I love this recipe! I'm addicted to Cold Sesame Noodles, and this lets me have the same idea without the guilt! I jazzed it up a bit, by adding fresh lime juice. substituting the oil w/ 2 tbls peanut oil, 2 tbls olive, 1 tbls sesame, and 1 tbls chili oil. You can mix it up to your taste. I also used extra chunky peanut butter, and substituted 4 packs of Splenda for the brown sugar, for the low carbers out there. I keep the sauce on the side, and pour it on as needed about 1/2 hour before devouring. I also used pre-cut coleslaw mix with peppers and carrots already in it. So Easy and Fanstastic! I can't wait to make it again, and it will be in my fridge all summer.

I love this salad! I used a bagged coleslaw to keep it simple then added chopped peanuts. I personally think that's the key ingrediant for this yummy salad.

WoW...this was great!!! I gave it 4 stars because I made some changes....Used pre-packaged coleslaw cabbage & pre-packaged brocolli slaw half of each. halved vinegar (1/2 balsalmic & half white wine)..halved oil (1/2 sesame & olive)....since it's just me and my daughter..we made plent of dressing but only used the amount needed individually. (Had enough dressing leftover to make for lunch or snack tomorrow.) I added some chicken breast I had made earlier....This was soooo nice and lite. No guilt about eating after 6pm. Simple to make..but with flare and gourmet style!..And Cheap!! Very Impressive!!!

I thought the dressing was way to much for the lightness of the cabbage.The dressing by itself was pretty tasty but I substituted half peanut oil and I also put a teaspoon of chili oil in for a little kick. I would probaly make it again but cut the dressing in half and maybe marinate some chicken in it for another dinner.

Although my husband really liked this, I thought it was barely OK. The dressing was too thick and totally weighed down the delicate cabbage and veggies, kind of a gummy mess. The dressing did have great flavor but I think I might use it with stir fried green beans or other hearty vegetable.
