Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a sliced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinegar mixture. You can also experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar, for a unique flavor profile. If you're not a fan of sugar, try using honey or agave syrup as a natural sweetener. This salad can also be made with other vegetables like carrots or radishes for added crunch and color.
