Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, lime juice, and black pepper. Set aside.
Assemble the salad base: Add the edamame, coleslaw mix, purple cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, scallions, and cilantro to a large mixing bowl.
Dress it: Pour the sesame–lime vinaigrette over the veggies and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Add the crunch: Sprinkle in the chopped cashews and toss again.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to strengthen and mingle. Give it a good stir before serving and enjoying!
