I’m dreaming of summer and who doesn’t love a good coleslaw?!  They are especially great when you don’t want to cook on a hot night but so many of them have a lot of mayo and unhealthy ingredients.  Time to fix that with some delicious peanut dressing!

I picked up some radishes at Barrie Hill Farms and decided they’d make a colorful, crunchy addition to this.   If your kids are peanut butter lovers, imagine how excited they will be to hear they’re going to have peanut butter on their salads!

I love this salad because it has lots of crunch.  Cabbage, apple, radish, green onion and peanuts.  While it may make for a noisy dinner table, no worries because the oohhhsss and ahhhss will drown out the crunch.   I even chose a crunchy peanut butter for the dressing but that’s up to you.  Most importantly you want to find the most natural peanut butter without preservatives.

Women’s Day has a great post with a list of 12 peanut butters that they taste tested as well as examined the ingredients.  Their criteria was that it had to be 90% peanut butter with no artificial flavorings,  preservatives or flavorings.  Check out their choices here.
