Cooking Tips

• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or bean sprouts to the salad for extra crunch and flavor.
• To make this salad vegetarian, substitute the ground beef with tofu or tempeh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The dressing may thicken when refrigerated, so you can thin it out with a little water or lime juice before serving.
