Let's add the Dressing
To the bowl of veggies and fruits, add chilli powder, salt, almond butter and honey. 1 tablespoon almond butter, 2 teaspoon honey,¾ teaspoon red chili powder, Salt to taste
Use your clean hands to mix up the salad with the dressing. Hands are the best, helps to infuse the flavors well into the veggies and fruits.
Just before serving, add roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to the salad and serve fresh.

If serving the salad later, i would recommend, not to add dressing and toppings immediately.
Store the cut veggies and fruits in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Mix the dressing in a separate jar and refrigerate.
Remove the salad and dressing just before serving, Mix, add the toppings and serve.
