Directions
Salad:
Mix all salad greens in a tray & pour over the dressing and toss well.
Add the roasted peanuts and toss again. You can also add toasted sesame seeds.
Do a taste-test. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey in your dressing. If too salty or sweet, add more lime juice. Add chili flakes if you like it spicy.
Serve right in the salad bowl or portion out into individual bowls, and ENJOY!
Dressing:
Blend to a fine liquid consistency (Tip: double the salad dressing recipe and keep any extra in the refrigerator for a quick & scrumptious tossed salad anytime!)
