sai's tip for this recipe:

1. you can add olive oil or garlic powder for this recipe, it will be so good!
2. if you think the mixture is too sweet, you might want to slowly add the sugar into the mixture to make sure it will meet your tastes
3. if it's too sour, add more sugar until it levels up the sweetness and sourness
4. try this salad with white rice on the side, it's super good too
