Add the shredded red cabbage, thinly sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, and sliced red chili (if using) to the bowl with the fresh herbs.
-
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the herb and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and crispy fried shallots over the top of the salad for added texture and flavor.
