Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, and scallions. Toss gently to mix well.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and sriracha, if using. Adjust with salt and pepper to your taste until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
