Get creative: To boost the crunchiness of this delicious healthy salad, add some extra shredded cabbage and be careful not to drench the salad in too much dressing!
*Onion slicing. I pop the onion into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting or rub some lemon juice on the knife, making sure to re-coat the blade every few cuts.
** Julienne or French Cut is cutting into long thin strips.
