Tip: Click on step to mark as complete.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, peanut butter, jalapeño, water, honey, and salt until combined. -
Add the coleslaw mix, bell pepper, and green onions to the dressing. -
Using tongs, toss the vegetables together with the dressing to coat. -
Let stand for several minutes so the flavors blend. Sprinkle with the peanuts.
Cooking Tip: Because jalapeños can vary in spiciness, you may want to take a tiny bite of the jalapeño before you add it to a dish. If it tastes particularly spicy, use less if you prefer. If you like more heat, include the seeds and ribs.
Cooking Tip: You can substitute 1 cup grated carrots and 5 cups thinly sliced cabbage for the coleslaw mix.
