Most of my recipes are born out of needing to use up something in the fridge, and Peanut Sesame Slaw is no exception. We needed a coleslaw dressing, I wanted one that wasn't mayonnaise, and this was born. It's a simple, tangy peanut sauce that would go well with any crisp, fresh salad. I used black sesame seeds because I enjoy their aesthetic appeal, but you could use regular ones or leave them out altogether. I also like the tang the vinegar gives, but if you prefer a milder version, swap the vinegar with lemon juice.
Peanut Sesame Slaw is a delicious salad made from tangy peanut sauce that would make a great snack or a side dish for weeknight dinner with Herbed Dinner Rolls Recipe or Roasted Vegetable Flan Recipe in Herbed Sauce.

To begin making the Peanut Sesame Slaw Recipe. Finely slice the cabbage and onion (a food processor or mandolin will do the best job) and grate the carrot.
Whisk the peanut butter, sesame oil, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
Add the water as needed until you get a consistency similar to bottled salad dressing; taste and adjust.
Stir in the sesame seeds, keeping a few back for garnish.
Toss the vegetables with the dressing until well coated. Garnish with the reserved sesame seeds and serve.
