Sweet and Sour Chinese Salad
Easy Print

This is a nice variation on Chinese sweet and sour.

You can use these ingredients or try other vegetables of your choice.

If you’re doing the one or two-month Herbal DETOX program then you could include some cubed fish, and if you’re doing the Herbal SLIM program then you could even try cubed chicken. Just quickly stir-fry the meat first, place aside and add back in just before serving.
