Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded green cabbage
• 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup toasted peanuts
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon water (to adjust dressing consistency)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to combine.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 3

Pour the peanut dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the toasted peanuts to the slaw and gently mix them in.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., more lime juice for tanginess or honey for sweetness).

Step 6

Let the cole slaw sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 7

Transfer the cole slaw to a serving dish and garnish with additional peanuts or cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Toss again before serving if stored.
