1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and halved

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green and purple cabbages, carrots, red bell pepper, snap peas, green onions, and cilantro. Toss them together to mix well.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

        Add Crunch: Just before serving, fold in the chopped roasted peanuts, reserving a few for garnish. This step ensures that the peanuts stay crunchy.
