S aw is a summer c assic, but can feel a bit heavy with all of the mayo. We’ve lightened it up with this healthy Asian-inspired s aw tossed in a delicious peanut sauce. It’s chock-full of vegetables and can be made a day in advance to let the f avors meld. ASIAN Slaw Serves: 10 | Total Time: 40 Minutes

For the dressing: ¼ cup Natural Grocers ® Brand Bulk Organic Peanut Butter or Almond Butter 1 tablespoon Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Aminos 1-2 tablespoons organic lime juice 1 teaspoon grated organic ginger 2 organic green onions, white and green parts, minced 2-4 tablespoons filtered water, as needed

For the sa ad: 2-3 pounds organic green and/or purple cabbage, thinly sliced (8-10 cups) 1 arge organic red, yellow, or orange pepper, thinly sliced 1-2 small organic Anaheim, ja apeño, or serrano peppers, seeds and ribs removed, and thinly sliced ½ cup organic basil, chopped ½ small organic red onion, thinly sliced Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt, to taste ¼ cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Roasted Salted Peanuts, Roasted Salted Cashews, or White Sesame Seeds

1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together all

dressing ingredients except water in a medium bowl. If it’s too thick to drizzle over sa ad, add just enough water to thin.

3. Top with the peanuts,

cashews, or sesame seeds just before serving.
