I love this refreshing, salad chilled, all the wonderful flavors pop and sing in your mouth. Who knew, this would taste so great. The fragrant herbs, crunchy peanuts, fish sauce and fresh lime juice add a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish creating a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty and hot.
