This vibrant salad combines fresh vegetables with a tangy dressing and crunchy toppings, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, ground ginger, minced garlic, and honey in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake well to mix.
Shaking the dressing in a jar ensures it's well mixed and easy to pour.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is completely dry for a crisp salad.
Peel and grate the carrots. Slice the celery and red bell pepper thinly. Add them to the salad bowl.
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly sliced vegetables.
Place the peanuts, cashews, sesame seeds, and bean sprouts in separate small bowls for serving.
Toasting the nuts and seeds enhances their flavor and crunch.
Serve the salad with the dressing and toppings on the side, allowing each person to customize their bowl.
Encourage guests to mix the dressing with the salad just before eating to maintain freshness.
