Notes
- Make it Vegan: Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave.
- Storage: Store salad and dressing separately to prevent sogginess.
- For extra flavor, toast your sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant.
- When buying fresh ginger, choose pieces that are firm and smooth.
- Fresh cilantro is best found at local farmer’s markets or well-stocked grocery stores.
