Recipe Notes

Be creative in substituting ingredients for this salad: avocado, shredded carrots or cabbage, find food to use up from the fridge and pantry. Use chopped pickles instead of capers but at least try capers, they are so good when pan fried with onions. I used leftover Buckwheat Crepe batter I had for the wrap and sautéed spinach for the greens. I couldn’t get enough of it!
