Notes

Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor, adding a bright and refreshing citrus note that enhances the overall dish. If you're preparing it ahead of time, store the sauce separately and add it just before serving to maintain the best texture and freshness. Feel free to add extra vegetables to increase the nutritional value and customize the recipe to your liking. You can also adjust the spice level according to your preference, making it as mild or as spicy as you enjoy.
