This is one of the most delightful salads you will ever make in less than 15 minutes. This is a very common salad (which has many variations) in Japan. In lieu of the traditionally-used rice vinegar, I used lemon juice as it is a healthier and less-processed option. Feel free to experiment using different green vegetables like watercress, baby spinach, mizuna, mustard green, etc. These fresh bitter greens have a wonderful liver-detoxifying property and help us get rid of excess estrogen and rebalance our hormones with every bite.
