1-First, pull together all the ingredients and give the veggies a quick wash to make sure they’re fresh and ready. Measure out each item precisely, like the 1/4 cup of peanut butter or the 5 cups of Napa cabbage, to avoid any surprises. This step sets you up for success and makes the rest breeze by.

2-Next, get your veggies prepped by shredding the cabbage and carrots, then slicing the bell pepper and scallions just right. For the dressing, grab a medium bowl and combine the peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, soy sauce, canola oil, sugar, and honey. Whisk it all until it’s smooth and creamy that’s the heart of this salad.

3-Once your dressing is mixed, add in the red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and sesame seeds, and stir well or blend for extra smoothness. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together, which really amps up the taste. In a large bowl, toss together the Napa cabbage, red cabbage, bell pepper, edamame, scallions, and carrots to create that fresh base.

4-Just before you serve, drizzle the dressing over the salad and give it a good toss to coat everything evenly.
