IN THIS LESSON
ID: 2574 Elementary
The Chinese tend to play fast and loose with salad laws. Expect sweet sauce on your vegetables and mayonnaise on your fruit. In this lesson, there's even a salad without any fruit and vegetables in it at all. Just remember to make sure someone teaches you how to stack your salad at the Pizza Hut one-plate salad buffet.
