For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some shredded carrots or bell peppers.
If you don't have honey-roasted peanuts, plain roasted peanuts work well too. You can also use other nuts like cashews or almonds.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. For a milder salad, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
This salad is best when allowed to chill for at least 4 hours, but it can also be made a day ahead.

    The flavors really deepen after it sits in the fridge. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.
