- Rinse and drain the canned lentils thoroughly to remove excess sodium and any canning liquid.
- Dice the red onion, tomato, red pepper, and red hot chili peppers into uniform pieces for even distribution of flavors.
- For a milder salad, remove the seeds from the red hot chili peppers before chopping them.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the fish sauce with soy sauce or another vegan alternative.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Fresh lime juice is recommended for the dressing, as it adds a brighter, more vibrant flavor compared to bottled lime juice.
