Notes

Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, adding a vibrant aroma and freshness that elevates the entire dish. For meal prep, it’s best to store the dressing separately and mix it in just before serving to keep the ingredients crisp and flavorful. If using peanuts, add them right before serving to maintain their crunch and texture. This dish is especially refreshing when served chilled, making it a perfect choice for warm days, light lunches, or easy dinners.
