Asian Slaw with Spicy Peanut Salad Dressing - this healthy salad is full of crunch and the spicy peanut salad dressing adds a punch of flavor!

One of my favorite, cheap takeout meals as a graduateĀ student was sesame noodles – which is really a peanut butter based sauce. Now that I’m watchingĀ my carbs more closely, I get my peanut sauce fix by making a peanut salad dressing and serving it with lots of fresh veggies.There’s something aboutĀ creamy peanut salad dressing that brings back fond memories. Making your own peanut salad dressing is so easyĀ –Ā there’s no reason to buy store bought, plus you know exactly what you’re putting into it.

I created this Asian Slaw with Spicy Peanut Salad Dressing recipe usingĀ SilkĀ® Unsweetened Cashewmilk, a product I use often in my coffee, and as a creamy dairy-free swap for half and half or heavy creamĀ in lattes andĀ desserts. We have dairy intolerances in our family, so SilkĀ® Unsweetened Cashewmilk offers a great dairy-free option. It’sĀ not onlyĀ lactose-free and casein-free, but also cholesterol-free (plant-based), and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservations. One cup has just 25 calories and 0 grams of sugar, which makes it a wonderful ingredient in creamy recipes like my SpicyĀ Peanut Salad DressingĀ when I’m trying to lighten up recipes.

The creamy Spicy Peanut Salad Dressing is bold and flavorful, making it the perfect match for this rainbowĀ salad – combining classic Asian sweet, spicy, sour and salty flavors all in one.

Don’t you just love how colorful all the vegetables in this Asian Slaw are – after all, we eat with our eyes, right? This Asian Slaw is not only naturally vibrant in color, but it packs lots of textures and flavors into one bowl – sweet and juicy pineapple, crunchy peanuts and cabbage, umami rich soy sauce, fragrant fresh mint and cilantro, and spicy red pepper flakes.

    This looks SO good! I can practically taste the crunch of this slaw. And peanut dressing…I could eat that on just about anything, so even better that it is on top of such a beautiful dish!
