Fresh and Crunchy Thai Peanut Salad Recipe

I am pretty sure that I have told you how much I love cabbage. I try to add it to as many meals as possible because it is so yummy both raw and cooked, and I love the purple color. 

My other favorite food is peanut butter. I literally have to ration it for myself because I could eat a whole jar of it without even thinking about it. So, I have to think about it.

Put the two together and to me, it is a party in my mouth. This salad is so yummy, crunchy, tasty, and, of course (like all my recipes) EASY!

2 cups chopped spinach

1 cup shredded carrots
