• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper

• 3 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions

• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey

• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and green onions. Toss to evenly distribute the vegetables.

Step 2

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the roasted peanuts. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the toasted peanuts over the slaw and gently toss to combine (reserve a small portion of peanuts for garnish, if desired).

Step 6

Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate until ready to use. Garnish with additional peanuts or cilantro before serving if desired.
