About The Ingredients
Here are the ingredients. A key with all good Vietnamese salads is that the ingredients should always be very fresh. Most Vietnamese will buy all their food fresh the same day they eat it.
With most Vietnamese cooking, the measurements do not need to be precise. If you like a more lime taste, you can add more. Or, if you do not find such a large green mango, feel free to add some more of the other vegetables. It does not need to be precise; that is one of the beauties of cooking Vietnamese food.

- Mix the red onions, red cabbage.
- Add the shredded green mangos and mix
- Then add carrots and bean sprouts.

Notes
- The Vietnamese usually eat this salad with rice crackers. They slightly fry the rice crackers before eating them. The quick fry of the rice crackers ensures the rice crackers stay crispy when eating the salad.
- The serving size is 6 to 8 as it depends on if you will eat this as a main course or as a salad with other food.
