Combing peanut sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
Combine lettuce and cabbage and arrange on the bottom of a serving platter. Top with noodles and arrange vegetables on top. I like to place them in little piles on top so you can see each of the vegetables individually. Drizzle sauce over salad and top with chopped peanuts if using. Serve, letting eveyone take what they want. Alternatively, give the salad a good toss before serving.
Notes
You can mix up the veggies here to use what you have on hand. Things you can swap in: shredded carrot, sliced now peas, sliced cucumber or daikon radish. Smoked tofu is a nice addition for a little bit of protien.This salad also works nicely as a packed lunch. Pack lettuce, noodles and veggies together in a 2-3 cup sized containers. Pack about 2 tablspoons of sauce in separate containers. Pour sauce over salad just before serving.
