Thinly slice the Napa cabbage and red cabbage; place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, cut it lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin half-moon shapes; add to the bowl.
Julienne the red bell pepper and slice the green onions thinly; add them to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro and add to the bowl along with the roasted peanuts.
In a small dry pan over low heat, add almond flour and toast for about 5 minutes until lightly golden. Stir constantly to prevent burning, then set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), lime juice, ginger, and garlic powder to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle toasted almond flour and toasted sesame seeds over the top just before serving for added crunch.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a refreshing experience.
