5 Cups Broccoli, cut into small florets
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

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together all the salad ingredients.

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.
Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors develop.
