Notes
This salad can be made ahead of time and chilled until ready to eat. Note however that as it sits, the bean sprouts and snap peas soften. If you want crunch to the peas, serve sooner than later!
I used sriracha for the chili sauce and my salad had quite a kick to it. Feel free to use whichever chili sauce trips your trigger!
And remember to adjust the proportions in the dressing to suit your palate.
