After prepping all the ingredients, this was how I mixed the salad together. This pictorial recipe was done around 10 pm, the night before chef’s Grace two-years-old birthday party. She stayed up insisting to help cut the rice papers with her dad. I gave her a pair of toddler’s scissors as her birthday gift. She was so happy to have her own first pair of scissors.
