NOTE: the original Sweet Chipotle Dressing is posted here on Recipezaar: Recipe #66933. I manipulated the recipe a bit and posted my own version.
Soak the dried chili peppers until softened. Combine the chilis with the remaining dressing ingredients and blend well.
In large, non-reactive bowl combine both cabbage varieties and the 3/4 cup of the prepared chipotle dressing. Toss well. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Keep chilled until served.
