👩‍🍳 Instructions:


1. Wash and prepare the vegetables:  

   Rinse all vegetables under clean running water. Make sure they are completely clean to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or let them air dry.


2. Chop the ingredients:  

   - Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.  

   - Shred the cabbage finely using a knife or grater.  

   - Grate or thinly slice the carrot.  

   - Dice the tomato into small cubes.  

   - Thinly slice the onion.  

   - If using green chili, slice it very finely.


3. Transfer to a mixing bowl:  

   Place all the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl.


4. Add seasonings:  

   Sprinkle a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional), and a pinch of chili flakes (optional) over the vegetables.


5. Mix the salad:  

   Using salad tongs or clean hands, gently toss the vegetables together. Make sure the lime juice and seasonings are evenly coated across all the ingredients. Be careful not to mash soft vegetables like tomatoes.


6. Taste and adjust:  

   Taste the salad and adjust the salt, lime juice, or chili as needed.

7. Serve immediately:  

   Transfer to a serving plate or bowl and serve fresh. This salad is best eaten immediately while it's crisp and refreshing.
