Notes
I found that the crayfish meat was seasoned enough by the briny liquid it was steeped in and did not add any additional salt.
I used the rice vinegar left behind in the bowl from marinating the cabbage as a dressing on the salad itself.
The lemon juice used on the avocado provided additional citrus notes.
