Chef's Tips

- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chili based on your preferred spice level.
- Protein Boost: Add grilled shrimp or chicken for a more filling meal.
- Freshness: Use the freshest herbs possible for the best flavor.
- Storage: This salad is best enjoyed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
