Notes

  • Note 1: For a more traditional flavor, use slices of raw red onion.
  • Note 2: Adding the jalapeño pepper is optional. If you like a little heat, but don't want to overdo it, remove the white membranes and seeds from the pepper before chopping.
  • Note 3: Honey is not considered to be vegan. Opt for agave nectar for a vegan salad.
