How to Make Asian Slaw With Ginger Peanut Dressing

  1. **Whisk the Dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.
  2. **Prepare the Slaw:** In a large bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.
  3. **Combine and Marinate:** Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. **Rest and Serve:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning (adding more honey for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or rice vinegar for tanginess) if needed.
  5. **Garnish and Enjoy:** Before serving, garnish with sesame seeds (optional). Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
