Name: Asian Cabbage Slaw with Peanut Dressing
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Serves 6-8
Ingredients: 4 cups Napa cabbage, thinly sliced; 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced; 2 large carrots, julienned or grated; 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 4 green onions, thinly sliced; 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped; 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter; 3 tablespoons rice vinegar; 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari; 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice; 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste); 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped; 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced Napa cabbage, red cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and green onions. Toss gently to mix all vegetables evenly.
Make the peanut dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, and sriracha until smooth and well combined. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water to reach desired consistency.
Combine slaw and dressing

Pour the peanut dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using tongs or clean hands, toss thoroughly to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Add herbs and nuts

Add the chopped cilantro and most of the chopped peanuts to the slaw, reserving some peanuts for garnish. Toss again to incorporate.
Chill and serve

For best flavor, cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining peanuts and sesame seeds.
Adjust seasoning

Taste the slaw and adjust seasoning if needed. You may want to add more lime juice for acidity, sriracha for heat, or a pinch of salt depending on your preference.
