Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For the best texture, add the cashews and sesame seeds just before serving to maintain their crunch.
• Avoid overdressing the salad to prevent it from becoming soggy.
• Serve immediately after tossing for the freshest taste and crunchiest texture.
Food Safety:
• Wash all vegetables thoroughly to remove any contaminants.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
