Good! I made this last weekend with minor changes. I used shredded napa cabbage instead of coleslaw mix and used diced jicama instead of the bean sprouts. I made the dressing as written, but found it to be not sweet enough, so added 2 teaspoons of sugar. I garnished with some cut cilantro and voila - yummy chicken wraps! I love the crunchiness of this. Even after I added the sugar, I didn't like the dressing as well as some others I have tried but for those who love the peanut butter flavor, this is great. Thanks for posting, Dragonfly AZ, I printed this out five years ago and finally gave it a try. Glad I did!
