Tips and Tricks
- Seasoning: Taste the salad as you go and adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.

Add ½ a cup of cooked black beans to the salad and toss. You can also add feta to give the salad a tangy taste or add 1 cup of shrimp to make it protein-rich.
- Dressing: Alternatively, you can use a peanut dressing or mango dressing.
