Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh, tender spinach. Baby spinach or young spinach leaves are ideal. - To save time, buy pre-washed spinach. - If you don't have roasted peanuts, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. - For a creamier dressing, use peanut butter instead of roasted peanuts. - If you don't have red bell pepper, you can use another type of bell pepper, such as green or yellow. - Add other vegetables to your salad, such as sliced cucumbers, carrots, or radishes. - For a more substantial salad, add some cooked chicken, tofu, or quinoa. - Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This spinach salad with peanut dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its fresh spinach, crunchy peanuts, and creamy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
