Try sliced peaches or nectarines instead → Nut-free? Swap peanuts for sunflower seeds ──────────────────────────────── 🖤 ENJOYED THIS? ──────────────────────────────── Subscribe for new recipes every week. ──────────────────────────────── 📌 FIND US ──────────────────────────────── YouTube: @TheFusionCoupleChannel #MangoSalad #CrispyChickpeas #AsianFusion #VeganSalad #TheFusionCouple #CinematicFood #SesameGingerDressing #SummerSalad #HealthyRecipe #VeganRecipe #FusionFood #PlantBased #SaladRecipe #FreshSalad #AsianInspired
