Notes

  • To prevent a soggy salad, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving.
  • Reheating isn't recommended as the vegetables will wilt, so enjoy this salad cold.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, serve the salad in lettuce cups for a refreshing crunch.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice to the peanut dressing for a bright, tangy kick.
