Peanuts or cashews can be used in this recipe.
Use shredded cabbage, carrots and onions.
I used chicken because I'm not vegan but you can use pretty much any protein you prefer or leave it out all together.
To make the dressing, you will need peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, maple syrup/honey and water.
