Notes
- *Vinegar: I use Marukan organic rice vinegar (unseasoned). Seasoned vinegar typically has sugar and salt added, so omit the maple syrup and salt or use sparingly.
- Other veggies: Add jalapeño, cooked sweet corn, celery, avocado, chives, green onion, etc.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 3.5 cups salad.
