Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon water to thin, if necessary

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro. Toss to mix the vegetables evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the vegetables are well coated.
  • Sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
  • For best flavor, let the salad sit for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
  • Substitute the peanuts with cashews or sunflower seeds for a different crunch and flavor.
