Notes

  • Storage & Make Ahead
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the components of the salad ahead of time. Keep the dressing, salad ingredients, and crispy toppings like wonton strips separate until right before serving to maintain the best texture and freshness.
  • Store: Place the salad in an airtight container, separating the dressing and any crispy elements like wonton strips to prevent them from becoming soggy, and store for up to 2 days in the fridge. Store the peanut dressing separately in a jar or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
