Creating Hearty Szechwan Coleslaw with White Beans is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions.
2. Add the Beans: Gently fold in the cooked white beans, being careful not to mash them.
3. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Szechwan sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Combine: Pour the dressing over the vegetable and bean mixture. Toss everything together until well coated.
5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or Szechwan sauce for extra flavor.
6. Add Cilantro: Fold in the chopped cilantro to add freshness.
7. Chill: For the best flavor, let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve: Give the coleslaw a quick toss before serving to ensure it’s well mixed.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delightful and hearty coleslaw that’s packed with flavor and nutrition.
