[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 

Cabbage lasts forEVER but it’s better to USE it than have it sitting in the fridge taking up real estate! In this recipe we talk you through a DELICIOUS cabbage salad that uses up that cabbage and is zingy, delicious and NOT AT ALL TRICKY TO MAKE. A peanut satay saucy dressing is a keeper FOR LIFE, and it’ll use up your cabbage beautifully, as long as you listen to us and HOLD YOUR NERVE!

RECIPE

DRESSING 
100g peanut butter (use whatever peanut butter you have – I use crunchy) 
juice of 1 lime (save the lime halves) 
2 tbs sesame oil 
2 tbs rice vinegar 
1 tbs plain oil (eg., grapeseed) 
1 tsp finely grated ginger 
salt, to taste 

SALAD 
¼ white cabbage 
¼ purple cabbage 
2 green apples 
1 ½ cups roasted peanuts 
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks (I use a V-slicer or specialised peeler for this) 
large handful of mint leaves, chopped 

METHOD 
Combine all the dressing ingredients! It should taste really good already so give it a taste. 
Shave the cabbage as thinly as possible. Core and slice the apples and give the pieces a little rub with the lime halves to stop them going brown. 
Crush the peanuts a little by either bashing them in a mortar and pestle, giving them a quick whizz in the food processor or chopping them with a knife. (I prefer the food processor.)  
Combine the cabbage, apple, peanuts, carrot and mint and toss well before adding the dressing. 
This salad lasts well for office/uni lunches – as others might be allergic, be mindful of the peanuts!
