For optimal flavor, use the freshest vegetables possible. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some prefer a slightly tangier salad. The salad will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding other vegetables like celery or radish for added crunch and flavor. This salad pairs perfectly with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a light lunch on its own.
