Ingredients

• 2 packages (instant, seasoning discarded) Ramen noodles
• 3 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 1 large (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup (cooked) Edamame (shelled)
• 4 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Roasted peanuts
• 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon (freshly grated) Ginger
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to cool them down. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, edamame, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to thin it out.

Step 4

Add the cooled ramen noodles to the mixing bowl with the vegetables and gently toss to combine.

Step 5

Pour the peanut-lime dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
