Thai Peanut Cabbage Slaw



Since I am totally into the Thai taste lately and we LOVE wraps at my house, this was a perfect fit for us! While we could have eaten it as a salad it was a huge hit at my house as a wrap... Very tasty and not a lot of calories so that made it even more appealing!

1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Slaw:
5 cups shredded cabbage (or one 16-oz bag cole slaw mix)
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 cup raw green peas, fresh or frozen
