    Cook’s tip

    If you like a little spice, add chopped Thai red chilli, dried chilli flakes, cayenne or chilli sauce to the dressing. Other citrus fruits would be good too, or even mango or pineapple, if more readily available. Also any salad leaves or al dente green beans or other green veg will work here as well.
