• 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 3 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha

• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon (grated) Ginger

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions. Toss until evenly distributed, then set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, prepare the peanut dressing by whisking together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings. Add more sriracha for additional heat, lime juice for tanginess, or honey for sweetness, if desired.

Step 4

Pour the peanut dressing over the prepared vegetable mixture. Using tongs or a large spoon, toss the salad until the dressing evenly coats all the vegetables.

Step 5

Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish and sprinkle the top with the chopped roasted peanuts for garnish.

Step 6

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir once more before serving.
