Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and drying your vegetables thoroughly. Shred about 4 cups of green cabbage into thin strips for that delightful crunch.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, the juice of 1 fresh lime, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1-2 teaspoons of Sriracha sauce. Whisk until well-blended.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Pour the dressing over and gently toss.
  4. Carefully dice 1 ripe avocado and fold it into the salad mixture, taking care not to mash it.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Prep ingredients a day ahead but mix the dressing just before serving to maintain freshness. Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
