For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the peanuts lightly before crushing them. Adjust the amount of sugar and lemon juice to your preference. Some may prefer a tangier or sweeter salad. This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature. Feel free to add other vegetables such as shredded cucumber or bell pepper for added texture and nutrients.
