- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Condiments & Spices
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed salad ingredients and gently toss to ensure every piece is coated with the flavorful dressing.

- For a vegan option, substitute fish sauce with soy sauce or a vegan fish sauce alternative.
