You can add any cheese, both soft and harder varieties. Fillet can not be added, but men like it better when it is. Peking cabbage or any kind of salad is interchangeable by availability or preference.

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
