Remove the outer leaves of a medium cabbage using a sharp chef's knife, and cut out and remove the core.
Thinly cut the cabbage and collard greens into ribbons. Core and remove the pith from the sweet red bell pepper.
Remove the skin and any blemishes from a medium-sized carrot using a potato peeler. Julienne, both the sweet bell pepper and carrot. Add micro greens, cilantro, and mint leaves, and gently toss.
Top the salad with roughly chopped peanuts; you can also toast the peanuts to give them a nuttier flavor.
Scatter on the sesame seeds, which are entirely optional, but they look and taste so good!
Next, add the ingredients for Thai Salad Dressing into a large mixing bowl and stir with a wire whisk or put it all into a blender and pulse until smooth.
Drizzle over the salad and serve.
