To make the slaw, combine the shredded coleslaw, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, edamame, scallions, peanuts, and cilantro in a large bowl.

Before serving, add the dressing and toss well. Let the slaw sit for at least ten minutes so the vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve. This slaw is best served fresh but leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days. Enjoy!
