Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Thinly shred the green and red cabbages using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots into thin, matchstick-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and finely chop the fresh cilantro and green onions. Add these to the bowl as well.
Roughly chop the roasted peanuts and set half of them aside for garnish later.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts (reserved for garnish) over the top of the salad.
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Thai-flavored coleslaw salad!
