This vibrant salad brings together a delightful fusion of textures and flavors for a refreshing yet satisfying meal. A medley of green vegetables adds not only fresh, crisp texture but also a wealth of nutrients and phytochemicals. Sacha inchi, rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, replaces traditional peanuts, enhancing both the nutrition and taste. Finished with a tangy Asian dressing, this salad is as nutritious as it is delicious.
