In a bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients.
Add the snap peas, cilantro, crunch salad toppers, and peanuts to a large salad bowl.
Pour the dressing and the chili crisp, if using, over the top and mix to combine.

Notes

Note 1: You can use any neutral-flavored oil instead of avocado oil.
Note 2: Fish sauce adds a big umami flavor. But if you don't eat fish or really don't like fish sauce, you can omit it. You may find that you want to add a bit more soy sauce or salt.
Note 3: Lighter soy sauce, such as Tamari, works best in this recipe. If you only have dark, Chinese-style soy sauce, reduce the amount to ½ tablespoon. You can use gluten-free if needed.
Note 4: I often like to use Laid Back Snacks Wasabi Me for the crunchy topping-it's a mix of wasabi peas and crispy sesame snacks. Look for Asian-inspired crunchy salad toppers at your grocery store. Crispy wonton strips are another great option.
Note 5: I'm absolutely obsessed with Triple Smoke Crunch, which works really well in this salad. Another more widely available option is Trader Joe's Chili Onion Crunch.
