This recipe was of the former category. It hit me one day as I was jotting down website ideas. CREAMY THAI SLAW WITH BAKED WONTON CHIPS. Yep. THANKS RECIPE. You were simply meant to be. It starts with chips. Baked chips, in fact. I do like the fried variety but will probably never make them myself because I don’t fry things. It scares me and I fear my arteries will see what I’m doing and seize up before I ever take a bite of said fried good. I’ll eat a Pronto Pup at the state fair no problem. But you will likely NEVER see me dipping a battered dog in my own pot of oil. Plus, I’d probably burn myself and then John would ban me from the kitchen forever because I’m already prone enough to accidents in there. Whoa, that escalated quickly. Back to zee dip. The slaw is so simple and fresh AND can be made dairy-free and peanut-free no problem. Sub mashed avocado for yogurt /sub almond or cashew butter for peanut. SOLVED. This slaw is so flavorful and crunchy! Slightly creamy with plenty of peanut flavor, sweetness, and tang from the lime. Kind of like a creamy peanut sauce*. I’m kind of smitten with it, especially when served with baked wonton chips. Tortilla chips, you’re cool and all but, you’re no wonton. Just sayin’. *Note: you can learn about the origins of peanut sauce and find our DIY recipe here. Make this dip for a super fresh and easy appetizer for parties or gatherings. Make it before eating Pad Thai. Make it for a picnic and then take it on said picnic and eat it. Make it for a frand who loves Thai food. Just make it. You get the point.
