If using Instant Pot – Add the peanuts into the instant pot insert along with enough water and salt. Then cook for 12-15 minutes on Pressure Cook (High). Let the pressure release naturally. Cooked Peanuts should be tender, but not mushy.
If using an Indian pressure cooker - Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles on medium flame.
If cooking on the stovetop pot – add enough water along with the peanuts and cook them for 30 minutes or until done

Chop all your veggies, removing any seeds/skin/stems needed.
In a large mixing bowl, Add all the ingredients and toss well until all the ingredients are mixed and well seasoned.
This healthy peanut salad is best enjoyed if you set it aside for 15 minutes so the flavors are incorporated well before serving. You may also refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
