Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 3 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
- 1 quarter cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (for thinning the dressing, if needed) Water

- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and sliced green onions. Toss together and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt and pepper until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water gradually until it reaches your desired consistency.
Pour the peanut dressing over the prepared vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish and garnish with the crushed peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
