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!

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.

I just tried this recipe and it was delicious! All the flavors were well balanced. I loved it! I did make two substitutions, because I did not have the recommend items on hand. I uses apple cider vinegar instead of rice and i used almonds instead of peanuts. I sliced my almonds and lightly roasted on a pan. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
