10 oz dry soba noodles (or whole wheat pasta of choice)
2 cups purple cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
2 cups carrot, grated or matchstick
1 bunch green onions, sliced
Peanut-Sesame Dressing:
½ cup smooth, natural peanut butter
3 Tbsp white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey*
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
Garnish:
5 Tbsp peanuts, chopped
½ cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, sliced into wedges
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, prepare dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the dressing ingredients until smooth.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Pour dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Serve slaw with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
I served half portions of this recipe with a serving of salmon, as shown. The nutrition information listed, however, is for a full portion (scant 2 cups). Enjoy!
