Personal Notes:
Can make the salad ahead - just keep peanuts and dressing separated from the rest of the ingredients until 30 minutes before serving or peanuts will get soggy.

Made this during Covid 19 for Josh and Steph and served with take-out sushi on the side deck. Steph requested the recipe. :)
