Note
For extra crunch, toast some chopped peanuts and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce mixture.
This salad tastes even better after sitting for an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The sauce may thicken when cold; stir in a little water or soy sauce before reheating or eating.
