This super light and fresh veggie side is perfect to serve at a summer BBQ or even a simple weeknight dinner. Pair it with your favorite protein for a complete meal. I am a sucker for peanut sauce, I can’t get enough. I love this bright and flavorful side dish. It is veggie packed and the bright lime juice adds a little tang to it, while the savory peanut sauce balances it out. Plus, it is so colorful and pretty!

This recipe comes together in just a few minutes and requires no cooking, so that is a win in my book! You can really use whatever veggies you like here. I used up a bunch of things from my veggie drawer. I love having a bag of coleslaw on hand. It is great as a side and easy to add to salads. You can also eat this as a salad if you like. I actually added chicken and ate two servings for lunch and it was perfect!

Here is what you will need:

• Tri Color Cole Slaw Mix – you can find this by the bagged salads. You can also shred up some green and purple cabbage instead.
• Carrots – shredded or julienned
• Bell Peppers – choose whatever color you like. I used red and green
• Scallions/Green Onions – slice these thin and use the whites and greens
• Cilantro
• Peanut Butter Powder – Lakanto makes a powdered peanut butter. You can also use regular peanut butter. You may have to thin the dressing with water if using regular peanut butter.
• Low Sodium Soy Sauce – use coconut aminos for gluten free
• Sesame Oil – this gives such good flavor, try not to substitute
• Lime Juice – fresh or bottled
• Rice Vinegar
