Notes
Add the dressing just before serving to keep the vegetables fresh and crunchy.
Slice or chop the eggs depending on how you like your salad.
Adding herbs like parsley or cilantro is optional, but they add extra freshness and color.
For a spicy kick, drizzle over 2-ingredient chilli oil or mix in some spicy red chilli chutney.
