1/2 cup green onions, chopped

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, green onions, and cilantro.
