Perfect as a crowd-pleasing side dish or a refreshing topping for tacos and sandwiches, this quick and easy slaw comes together in just 20 minutes and tastes even better as the flavors meld. Whether you're planning a summer BBQ or lightening up your weeknight meals, this Roasted Peanut Slaw delivers bold flavors and wholesome ingredients in every forkful.
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.
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.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
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.
Sprinkle the toasted peanuts over the slaw and gently toss to combine (reserve a small portion of peanuts for garnish, if desired).
Let the slaw sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate until ready to use. Garnish with additional peanuts or cilantro before serving if desired.
