  • 2 Cups Colelsaw mix (just the cabbage part, no dressing)
  • ½ Cup Water chestnuts, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ Cup Green onion, sliced
  • 6 Tbsp Roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped (almonds for paleo)
  • For the dressing:
  • ½ Cup Natural peanut butter (Almond butter for paleo)
  • 3 Tbsp Coconut oil, melted

  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix very well, until the dressing evenly coats the salad. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors develop.
