1-First, in a medium bowl, combine the slaw ingredients: 6 cups of shredded cabbage (mix of green and red), 1 cup of roughly chopped matchstick carrots, 1 diced bell pepper cut into matchsticks, 1/2 cup of sliced green onions, and 1/3 cup of chopped cilantro. Toss them together gently to mix evenly, creating that crisp base for your Thai slaw with peanut dressing. This step ensures your vegetables stay fresh and crunchy, setting the foundation for a vibrant dish.

2-Next, in a separate bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients until smooth: 1/3 cup of natural creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of sriracha, 2 teaspoons of peeled and finely minced ginger, and 1 large clove of finely minced garlic. Keep whisking until everything blends into a pourable consistency, which takes just a minute or two.

3-Once the dressing is ready, pour it over the slaw mixture and toss to coat evenly for that perfect flavor infusion. For the best texture, keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to serve, as advised in the recipe. The entire process takes about 15 minutes, making it ideal for busy schedules.
