Blend this mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency

  3. Drizzle your desired amount of the peanut dressing over the salad ingredients. You might have a bit of dressing left over, but don’t worry; it’s perfect for dipping or saving for another salad.
  4. With all the ingredients in the bowl, give the salad a gentle toss until everything is beautifully coated in that creamy asian-inspired dressing.
