Notes

  • I recommend sprinkling chili flakes or pepper on the salad for an extra hot punch.
  • If you prefer your salad to be extra crunchy, add some toasted nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews for a robust flavor, and raisins, just like I do.
  • You may add grapes, apple chunks, and broccoli to make the salad sweeter.
  • I add grated lemon zest to my salad dressing with white vinegar for a citrus flavor and aroma; you may also try it.
  • I customize my salad by adding chopped mint or cilantro leaves for a fresh, herby taste. 
  • I often like my salad a little meaty, so you can try the same by adding boiled chicken cubes or stripes and bacon. 
  • You can also try adding other vegetables to this salad along with broccoli, like carrots, celery, or bell peppers, to make it more flavorful.
