Rainbow Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing
Recipe by Charity Ferreira | Photo by Erin Kunkel
This crunchy, creamy slaw gets big texture from cabbage and carrots, with a boost of plant protein from edamame and peanuts. Make it even more satisfying by topping it off with sliced baked tofu, grilled shrimp, or chicken. The dressing has a nice kick, but feel free to omit the crushed red pepper, if you prefer mild.
Ingredients
For the dressing:
1/3 cup (3 fl oz/80 ml) fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil (untoasted)
3 tablespoons unsweetened creamy peanut butter
1½ tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1-inch (2.5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled
3 cups (9 oz/280 g) thinly sliced purple cabbage
3 cups (9 oz/280 g) thinly sliced Napa or Savoy cabbage
1 cup (5 oz/155 g) shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)
1½ cups (10 oz/315 g) shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
¼ cup (1½ oz/45 g) chopped peanuts
Instructions
To make the dressing, in a blender or food processor, add the orange juice, lime juice, sesame oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, red pepper, and ginger. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the purple cabbage, Napa cabbage, carrots, and edamame. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts and serve.

What is endamame? Is it available at woolies if Coles?
Edamame is type of soybean in the pod. I won’t know what woolies is but many grocery stores have them.
At the Sushi Hub Store near me (in Australia), they sell Endamame in a box. I think that it only costs 5 dollars at the most! It might be a good alternative if you can’t find any at Woolworths or Coles.
Can anyone say how many calories per serving are in just the dressing?
