Tips:

- Ensure all your vegetables are fresh and crisp for the best texture and flavor.

- For a slightly different flavor, you can substitute the red cabbage with green cabbage or even a mix of both.

- To add a touch of sweetness, consider adding a handful of dried cranberries or a drizzle of honey to the dressing.

- Toast some nuts or seeds, like almonds or sunflower seeds, and sprinkle them on top for an extra crunch.

- For a heartier version, you can add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the salad.

- When zesting the orange, make sure to only take the colorful outer layer and avoid the bitter white pith underneath.
