Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions. Toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the salad and gently toss again to distribute.
