Peanut Butter Coleslaw – Dani Valent

Salads made in the Thermomix are the best and jazzed up coleslaws are even better.

Thermomix Peanut Butter Coleslaw

There’s a Vietnamese angle to this peanut-loving recipe so add a handful of Vietnamese mint if you want to theme it even more.

I haven’t bought peanut butter since I bought my Thermomix. I seek the best roasted, unsalted peanuts I can find and blitz them with a big pinch of flaked salt for 1 min/speed 10.

This salad goes brilliantly with grilled chicken. I love putting chicken ribs on the BBQ and serving them with this salad!
