- Meanwhile, prep your salad ingredients and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the noodles to the salad and pour the dressing over. Toss everything together to combine. Add a dash of each salt and pepper, combine, and add more to your taste if needed. Chill in the fridge until cold if desired.
- Serve with lime slices, additional peanuts, and Sriracha or hot sauce.
