Raw Vegetable Slaw with Peanut Dressing



Sometimes the easiest way to make old things new again is a new technique. We eat lots of zucchinis, carrots, peppers and snap peas, but by thinly shredding these vegetables into a slaw we discovered a new way to get raw, fresh veggies in our diet.

This handy tool  is a great way to julienne all kinds of vegetables into thin strips in mere minutes. It's a nice way to make quick work of a slaw without tons of obsessive compulsive slicing. Combined with the easiest dressing known to man, you have yourself a stellar slaw full of fresh ingredients!



Serves 6 side salads
INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 zucchini, julienned
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper, finely sliced
  • handful of snap peas, finely sliced
  • handful of mixed fresh sprouts (sprouted lentils, broccoli sprouts, sunflower sprouts, etc)
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 spoonful Peanut Butter
  • splash of water
  • sririacha, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Whisk lime juice, peanut butter, splash of water and sririacha in small bowl. Add more sririacha as necessary.
  2. Combine vegetables in large bowl, toss to combine. Add dressing and toss to coat.
  3. Serve with additional lime wedges as desired.

WHat a wonderful idea to slice the so thin so you don't have a huge chunk of raw veggies!
