Preparation

Chef’s notes

Inspired by Julia Turshen's salad shared on Instagram.
Adaptations include adding Romaine hearts for bulk or changing the dressing ingredients to suit preferences.
Optional variations include using lemon and dill instead of lime and cilantro, or yogurt instead of mayo.
A Japanese-inspired version could use toasted sesame oil, miso, and rice vinegar with sesame seeds for garnish.
