Notes

* Substitutions:
  • Substitute Thnot Sugar with brown sugar 
Other greens that are good for this salad can be spinach, arugula, or your favorite lettuce.
Topping on salads are like icing on a cake. They add color, texture, flavor and more nutrition for our bodies.  But, too many toppings can overpower the taste and look of your salad.  I usually use three toppings: onion (it could be shallots, green onions, or red/white/yellow onion), any kind of nut or seeds, and last but not least some kind of colorful vegetables/fruit for a beautiful contrast and additional texture.
