Notes
Uniqop’s advice:
- Adding both lemon juice and verjuice can make an extra bitter taste in your salad.
- For a better appearance, cut the vegetables in a single similar shape. For example, dice all of them in 1 inch.
- For a crunchier taste, add the juice and oil at the exact serving time
- For a juicer taste, add the juice and oil 30 minutes earlier than serving.
