Begin by preparing all the vegetables. Thinly slice the Napa cabbage and julienne the red bell pepper, carrots, and cucumber. Transfer these vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
Add the bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, and chopped mint leaves to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, chopped red chili, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Add the roughly chopped roasted peanuts into the salad and gently toss again.
Serve the Vegan Classic Thai Salad immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish.
