Notes/Tips:
You can add any vegetables you like to the salad. You can add roasted veggies or fresh.
Fruits- Fresh berries work perfectly in this recipe. You can add peach slices or grapes too.
Greens- Use any salad leaves of your choice. Kale by itself can make it too bitter in this salad but you can add a bit in.
Dressing- If you don’t like the hint of spice, skip adding the dried chili. This dressing lasts well in the fridge for 1 week.
