Begin by preparing the vegetables: shred the red and green cabbage, julienne the bell pepper, and thinly slice the cucumber. Place all these prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped cilantro and green onions to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, prepare the peanut dressing by combining the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, erythritol sweetener, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss until all the vegetables are thoroughly coated with the peanut dressing.
Transfer the dressed salad into a serving bowl or platter.
Garnish the salad with crushed peanuts, adding an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it for an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
