Recipe: Thai Peanut and Ginger Slaw - Easy and Healthy!


Love cilantro? Love fresh ginger and lime? Love all things Thai?! Then you're going to LOVE this quick and easy Thai inspired Peanut and Ginger slaw I threw together.

For the record, I am not a huge fan of coleslaw and this is nothing like that stuff!

Ingredients

  • 1 package of broccoli slaw
  • 1/2 cup of fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup of peanuts (or less, depending on your taste)
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp of fish sauce 
  • 1 tsp rice seasoned rice wine vinegar (regular one is okay)
  • 1 tsp of fresh grated ginger 


Instructions


Open the bag of broccoli slaw and place in a large bowl, add chopped cilantro, set aside.
In a food processor add half of the peanuts (around 1/4 cup), lime juice, fish sauce, vinegar and ginger. Process until it's liquefied, like a dressing.

Take remaining peanuts and chop up and add to the large bowl. Go ahead and pour that dressing on top of the broccoli and cilantro and mix it all up. You can either serve as is or chilled.

This recipe makes about 3 servings at around 96 calories. um 4%, Iron 4%

Now wasn't that easy? It wasn't until after I finished making it that I realized I could have shaved off some extra fat and calories by using PB2 instead of regular peanuts. Either way, this salad won't wreck your healthy eating program.
