I actually saw this recipe by Chef Geoffrey Zakarian in a current issue of Weight Watcher’s. It is not a WW recipe but they provided the points for this excellent slaw – only 3 points for 1 cup. I made a couple of small changes but not enough to make a difference in the points value. I will make this slaw often this summer and to kick off the grilling season I served it with my Pita Lamb Burgers.

Spicy Peanut Butter Slaw
- 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (I did use low-fat)
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. Sriracha sauce or any hot chili sauce (it is spicy with 2 tsp. which I like but you might want to start out with 1 tsp.)
- 2 tsp. dark sesame oil
- 1 tsp. honey
- dash or two of kosher salt
- 6 cups shredded green cabbage (I used almost a 14 oz. bag of shredded cabbage and carrots, except for 1 cup)
- 1 cup matchstick carrots (not needed if you use the cabbage mix above)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes, cut in half
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (white and green parts)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (I used parsley as I am not a fan of cilantro just like Ina!)
- 1/2 cup golden raisins, chopped (I used a mixed variety of raisins)
Combine the first seven ingredients and mix well. Add to the rest of the ingredients and chill until ready to serve.

I am bringing this tasty slaw with a peanut butter dressing to Fiesta Friday #64 where Angie and her two co-hosts, Loretta and Ginger, are already celebrating.
What a grand list of healthy ingredients Judi. Welcome to Fiesta Friday, this cole slaw would be great for the upcoming weather wouldn’t it? I’m sure it went down real well with your lamb pita burgers. I think with the addition of the peanut butter and Greek yogurt, this would surely stand out. Thanks for bringing this for us today, have yourself a gorgeous weekend! Predictions for tomorrow here better be right 76 deg :))))
Thank you Loretta – I love cole slaw and this is a change from the one I usually serve. You’re right the peanut butter and yogurt added some great flavor, oh and then of course Sriracha sauce! It is in the high 70’s here in Michigan! My Magnolia tree is starting to bloom. the grass is so green – just love spring. Happy FF 🙂
Nice! That dressing sounds lovely x
Thanks – very tasty and quick to make 🙂
That dressing sounds so yummy , Judi. I want to make those mouth watering lamb pita burgers too!
You are so right Sandhya – the dressing is delicious. Both recipes are very simple to make and perfect for an outdoor dinner 🙂
I have bookmarked them both! Just waiting for it to get a little warmer here around Boston 🙂
Judi, this look so good to me. It would be great with about anything!
Thanks Julie and the slaw is very easy to put together – perfect as a side 🙂
I like that!
Nutty and toothsome ďressing Aunt Juju. … 🙂 🙂
Thanks Chitra – I do like the peanut butter sauce and the fact that it is only 3 points per 1 cup is a good thing 🙂
I do like peanuty, crunchy salads and this one sounds great!
It’s very good Caroline – add the sriracha to taste 🙂
I love the ingredients in this slaw! Thanks for sharing it at the party! 🙂
You’re quite welcome 🙂 This will be a favorite side dish for barbecues because it is simple and very easy to put together, especially if you use the packaged coleslaw mix 🙂
Bring on the BBQ.
You got it Tracey – love this time of year! Weight Watcher’s coleslaw recipes are terrible so it was nice to find one that was so good.. A cup is quite a bit for 3 points 🙂
Perfect accompaniement to those burgers!
Yes, they certainly were Johanne – an easy dinner 🙂
I love cole slaw (I’m the only one in my house!) and have been looking for something a little different and I think this one will fit the bill very nicely. I’ve bookmarked and will be making! Thanks, Juju!
Thanks! Me too Angie – I have my regular sweet version and now this one – I am a happy camper 🙂
We loooove peanut butter and this recipe sounds delicious! 🙂
Thanks – very different from the traditional versions but very good 🙂
