Coleslaw with Poppy Seed Dressing

For the slaw: 


Napa Cabbage, chopped
1/2 red cabbage, chopped
3 carrots, grated
6 green onions 
(white and green parts, thinly sliced)
1/3 cup cilantro
salted peanuts (slightly crushed)


Now, I'm sure the amount on each ingredient can vary. The original recipe (that I also got from "The Chew") was slightly different, and so I am sure the variations can change according to you and your family's taste buds. For example, the original recipe didn't call for peanuts. However, as we were testing out this slaw for the first time, we agreed it needed some more... flavor... like salt. It also was lacking a certain CRUNCH... and my dad came up with the idea to add peanuts to the mixture. BRILLIANT! 



For the Poppy Seed Dressing:

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 Tbsp cider vinegar (or slightly less)
1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
zest of 1 lemon
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp kosher salt

Simply whisk all these ingredients together! Pour over your slaw mixture, and enjoy!
