Method

  1. Toss all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl, reserving a few of the peanuts to scatter later.
  2. To make the dressing, combine the chilli jam, lime zest and juice and the olive oil in a small bowl or jug, then taste and season.
  3. Toss most of the dressing through the salad, then transfer to a large serving platter. Scatter over the reserved peanuts, then drizzle over the rest of the dressing. Leave the salad to sit for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavours, then serve.
