Very nice slaw. I didn't have peanut butter so I used sunflower seed butter instead.

Delicious. I used about 1/2 the oil called for to lighten it up and was still really good. The second time around, added a grated apple into the slaw and used some sesame oil in place of some of the vegetable oil, and that was great too (apples + peanut butter = yum!). I've also used the dressing as a more traditional salad dressing, for an asian chicken salad or similar. This one's a keeper, mostly for the dressing; the rest of the ingredients can be modified for whatever you have handy.

Changes I've made to the dressing...EVERYONE who's tasted it demands the recipe!...Changes to the dressing as follows: (scaled the recipe for 4, so amounts are for that)...add 1 tsp (dark) sesame oil, 1/4 tsp sambal olek (chili paste) (or up to 1/2 tsp to taste),change brown sugar to 2Tb, pinch ground ginger instead of fresh, eliminate garlic. I don't use all of the dressing made...use just enough to lightly dress the salad ......Yummmmmm!!!! I think the sesame oil and chile paste do the trick!!! Chili paste does not make it hot/spicy, but gives just another "what is in there?!?!?" flavor layer....

This is was wonderful! I made a giant bowl full for dinner and am eating what's left for lunch. Which is saying something because I only eat leftovers if I really like them. Otherwise I pawn them off on my husband.

This is the same as Chinese Cabbage Salad I -but that dressing contains no peanut butter and everyone loves it. Made this one yesterday and was a big hit - lots of raves from everyone - basic same dressing except adding peanut butter. Nice addition. I added cucumber, green onion and mixed nuts. Am making tonight again and adding chicken for a main dish.

Love the dressing for this recipe. I make the dressing and use prepackaged broccoli slaw and/or coleslaw mix. I do add the chopped green onions, cilantro, and red bell peppers. Yummy! I always get asked for the recipe.

This was delicious! The peanut butter is definitely the secret. I took the lazy route and bought a bag of pre-chopped cole slaw mix from Publix and threw it in a bowl with a few tablespoons of peanut butter, about a tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce and lots of minced ginger and a few dashes of garlic powder. DELICIOUS!

Excellent. Another recipe I can vary depending upon what I have on hand. Per my usual method, I double the garlic and halve the sweetener, and throw in whatever vegetables I have that need to be used up. The secret IS the peanut butter.
