- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Instructions
Shred the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and finely chop the fresh cilantro and green onions. Add these to the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or Sriracha sauce for extra heat.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and garnish with additional cilantro or green onions if desired.
