Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions.

Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

Combine: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss gently to coat all the veggies evenly.

Add Crunch: Gently fold in the coarsely chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro, mixing until evenly distributed.

Chill: Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Serve: Give it a final toss before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or a refreshing topping for tacos and sandwiches!
