A vibrant and flavorful salad packed with crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, and tossed in a creamy peanut dressing. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or entertaining!
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, chopped cilantro, and green onions.
In a small mixing bowl or blender, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with chopped peanuts and optional wonton strips or crispy noodles just before serving to maintain maximum crunch.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
