Instructions to Make the Protein Vegan Salad

- Add rice once cooled. Toss to combine the ingredients together, top with sesame seeds and divide into bowls
What Dressing Goes with this?
I wanted something zesty with a peanut kick to it so I used San-J Thai Peanut Sauce and it was perfect for extra flavor while providing just enough flavor with no overpowering it either.
Other ideas for a tasty dressing would include Italian dressing, ranch, or even raspberry vinaigrette to add in some sweetness to the salad.
