Kale & Peanut Coleslaw (Video)
Odd as it may be, I adore coleslaw.
I love traditional coleslaw as much as coleslaw with vinaigrette, spices, or pickled.
This particular recipe is my attempt at a coleslaw served at one of my favorite restaurants, Banderas.
It’s crunchy, bright, hearty, light, salty, and extremely nutritious. I mean, it haskale in it! Isn’t that suppose to be like the healthiest food on the planet?
This would be a great side dish of for just about any type of protein.
SO check out the video and let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!

This looks amazing and speaks to my heart … can’t wait to try the fresh, crunchy goodness of this recipe! Thanks Dani … you inspire me!
Hi dani,
Due to religious dietary restrictions I can’t have anything with alcohol..so can just rice vinegar be used for the rice wine vinegar ? If so should I add something extra to make up for the wine taste ? Ok thank you !
Yum, that looks good! I love coleslaw too and this is a nice variety that I will definitely try. I am assuming two things, correct me if I am wrong. 1. The peanuts are roasted and salted and 2. You have cut away the tough stems that run up through the leaves of the kale before chopping.
