1-Step 1: Make the Dressing Grab a bowl and whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, sugar, and honey until it’s nice and smooth. Then, mix in the red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and sesame seeds. If you want it extra creamy, blend it up and let it sit for 10 minutes trust me, that rest time makes the flavors pop.

2-Step 2: Prep the Salad Base Now, in a big bowl, combine the Napa cabbage, red cabbage, bell pepper, edamame, scallions, and shredded carrots. Give it a good toss to mix all those colors and textures. It’s like creating a fresh rainbow in your kitchen!

3-Step 3: Combine and Serve Just before you’re ready to eat, drizzle that homemade dressing over the salad and toss everything again for even coverage. This ensures every bite has that perfect zing. If you’re adding extras like chicken or shrimp, throw them in now for a fuller meal.
