# How-To Steps:
01 - Spiralize the zucchini, carrot, and cucumber. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and shred the red cabbage. Slice the green onions and chop the fresh cilantro. Place all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, freshly grated ginger, maple syrup or honey, minced garlic, lime juice, and chili flakes until fully emulsified.
03 - Pour the sesame-ginger dressing over the prepared vegetables. Use salad servers or tossing spoons to gently mix until all vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
04 - Let the salad sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to absorb the dressing and flavors to meld together.
05 - Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped roasted peanuts or cashews. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while vegetables maintain their crisp texture.
