Hints & Tips

• This salad can be prepped ahead of time. Wash, slice, and chop all your veggies beforehand and cover and refrigerate. Dress with lime later when you are ready to serve. The dressing can also be made ahead of time to be used later.
• Drizzle Dressing Just Before Serving: To prevent the salad from becoming soggy, wait until just before serving to drizzle the dressing over the salad. This ensures the veggies stay crisp, and the flavors remain vibrant.
• This salad goes well with these Char Siu Pork Rashers, or alternatively, you can serve alongside BBQ chicken pieces or steak.
• Storage: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best to consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness. Keep in mind that the salad may become slightly softer as it sits in the dressing, but it will still be delicious.
