Recipe of the Week – Thai Cole Slaw

This week’s recipe of the week for Thai Cole Slaw is compliments of my lovely aunt. She made it at a family function a few years back and I fell in love with it.

I have made this recipe many times and it’s always a big hit. Brian isn’t a fan of peanuts, so if you aren’t either you can omit them (or serve them on the side), but I think they make the recipe.

Dressing Ingredients

1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ jalapeno, seeded and chopped very fine (to taste)

Cole Slaw Ingredients

1 head of cabbage, shredded
¼ cup red or green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
½ cup celery, diced
1 cup dry roasted peanuts

Directions

1. Mix the dressing ingredients
2. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour
3. Mix together salad ingredients
4. Pour and toss the marinated dressing over the cole slaw just before serving

Tips and Modifications

The dressing does not have a long shelf life so it’s best to make it the day you will be using it
