I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used almond butter in the dressing instead. It was just as good!

I didn't have any rice noodles, so I used ramen noodles instead. It worked out just fine.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, so I used less Sriracha. It was still plenty flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or tofu. I also like to add some chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.
