Quick and Tasty Asian Summer Slaw

During the week, I'm a huge fan of one-dish dinners.  In the summer, this means a lot of chopped salads.  I'm in love with peanut sauce, so  when I saw this recipe that combines peanut sauce and fresh veggies,  I knew it would be perfect.

By replacing the home-made dressing with a similar Trader Joe's version that I had in the fridge, and making a few adjustments I was able to whip this up in 15 minutes without a major trip to the grocery store.

Here is the adapted recipe that I used:

Asian Slaw with Spicy Peanut Dressing

1-2 cups shredded cabbage

2 cups chopped spinach

1 cups shredded carrots (I bought the pre-shredded version because I don't have a food processor)

1 red pepper, thinly sliced into bite size pieces

1 cup edamame (I quickly boiled the frozen Trader Joe's version)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced into bite size pieces

2 medium scallions, finely chopped

1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 cooked chicken breast (A great way to use leftovers, mine was teriyaki)

Red pepper flakes and salt (to taste)

Dressing:  I used Trader Joe's Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette but if you want to make your own,  this recipe is also delicious.

Directions:  Add everything to a bowl and toss.   This is the type of salad/slaw that gets better when everything soaks in the dressing so don't hesitate to toss ahead of time.  

Enjoy!
