You may know how much I love a crunchy slaw. I usually go for a creamy oil or mayo-based slaw, but sometimes I like to change things up with my favorite mega-flavorful peanut sauce on crunchy cabbage. This salad is versatile, a bit spicy, gingery, and creamy. Feel free to make substitutions or additions. Try adding in mung bean sprouts, quinoa, or mango!
