This is a great meal, y’all. \u00a0It is my adaptation of a salad in the wonderful book, Salad for Dinner<\/a>, by Jeanne Kelley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This salad is wonderful and has spicy, sweet, and savory elements and lots of crunch, thanks to the cabbage. \u00a0I think that it is a nice departure from lettuce and a good thing to make if the greens at the store are lacking. \u00a0I usually make it for Jon and me to have for lunch. \u00a0So, my boys don’t eat it — but then I haven’t given them the chance. \u00a0James is happy when I make it, though, because the ingredients list contains Sriracha sauce which he uses to flavor everything from rice to grilled cheese sandwiches. \u00a0Crazy boy. \u00a0Anyway, when I intend to have it over several days, I just make a whole recipe of the salad and dressing and divide it accordingly — saving the chopping of the cabbage and cilantro. \u00a0The dressing becomes more assertive by the day, but since it is already sort of assertive, I don’t think that is really a big thing.<\/p>\n

And, we’re off.<\/p>\n

Spicy Peanut Dressing:<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/3 cup natural-style crunchy (or regular) peanut butter<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup natural rice wine vinegar<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons soy sauce<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons organic sugar (or use golden brown and pack it)<\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon Sriracha sauce<\/p>\n

1 large garlic clove, pressed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slaw:<\/em><\/p>\n

1 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced<\/p>\n

1\/2 can pineapple in juice, juice discarded and the pieces chopped into smaller bits<\/p>\n

2 carrots, peeled and grated<\/p>\n

1 sliced red or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced (optional)<\/p>\n

4 thinly sliced green onions<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup chopped cilantro<\/p>\n

1 – 2 cups leftover shredded chicken (or you can do a pound of shredded rotisserie)<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup chopped roasted and salted peanuts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and season with salt to taste, if needed.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, pineapple, carrots, red\/yellow bell pepper, green onions and cilantro. \u00a0(If you’re making the whole recipe ahead, up to this point can be done 8 hours in advance.)<\/p>\n

Add the shredded chicken and dressing to the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. \u00a0Season the slaw to taste with salt. \u00a0Sprinkle with peanuts and serve.<\/p>\n
