I put so many of my friends onto this salad. It’s addicting and so healthy. This is something I love to meal prep for the week because cabbage lasts a long time in the fridge. If I don’t feel like eating this in salad form, I also wrap up the salad in rice paper and create little summer rolls and I use the dressing as a dipping sauce. Sometimes I also add rice noodles and turn this into a full on noodle dish. The dressing is pretty versatile and can be used for many things.

Ingredients: 

• Edamame
• Cole slaw mix (or green + red cabbage – about a quarter each – thinly sliced) 
• Cilantro

Dressing (in a blender):

• ¼ cup peanut butter
