To prepare the dressing, add all of the peanut dressing ingredients to a bowl or mason jar, and whisk well to combine. I use a microplane to finely mince the garlic and ginger into the mix, so there won't be any large chunks in the final dressing. Taste and adjust any seasonings to taste, then set it aside.
Chop the vegetables, then add them to a large bowl.
Add half of the prepared dressing to the bowl of veggies, and toss well. Taste the salad, and add more dressing as needed. (You might not use it all!) Add the chopped nuts, if you'd like extra crunch, then serve right away. Leftover dressing will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
