Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients, you may also use a blender. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (see note #1).
In a large bowl, mix together all the salad components and then drizzle the spicy peanut dressing over the top. Serve alone as is, with grilled chicken, or grilled shrimp.

Notes

If you want the dressing thinner, add 1 to 2 tbsp of water and whisk until combined.
Due to the sodium in the tamari and chili paste I didn't add extra salt, taste after combined and add if you'd like.
Store salad and dressing separately in refrigerator or dressing will cause elements to get soggy.
You can store salad dressing in air tight container for up to a week. Separation may occur, whisk or blend prior to using.
