The other night I made Cold Sesame Peanut Noodles and thought we should eat it with some veggies, so made a crunchy slaw salad. We ended up topping the noodles with the slaw salad for a delicious meal. This is one of those salads that can be made with anything on hand, shredded carrots, cabbage, fennel, Brussels sprouts, broccoli. Any toasted nut works well as a topping. In the recipe, I have suggested peanuts or cashews. It is super quick and easy to make and tastes even better the next day after the slaw soaks up the dressing. For added protein, add some shredded chicken, salmon or beans.
