1. Cook the ravioli: Cook the ravioli in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions (about 4-5 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water and leave to cool.

2. Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice and maple syrup. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and mix well.

3. Prepare salad ingredients: Cook the edamame according to the instructions on the packet and allow to cool. Prepare the peppers, carrots, cucumber and spring onions.

4. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, carefully combine the ravioli, edamame, peppers, carrots, cucumber and spring onions. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well to coat the ingredients evenly.

5. Arrange: Arrange the salad on plates or in a large bowl. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, toasted cashews or peanuts and sesame seeds.

Tip:

1. For an exotic touch, add fresh mango pieces to the salad. If you like it crispier, add crispy fried tofu cubes or sweet potato crisps. This ravioli salad combines the best of different cuisines and brings colour and flavour to your plate.
