For an elevated presentation, consider using martini glasses or small bowls to serve the salad. Adjust the amount of ketchup and tomato juice to achieve your desired consistency and level of tanginess. Feel free to add other vegetables like jicama or bell peppers for added crunch and flavor. For a spicier version, add a finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salad. Best if consumed within 24 hours of preparation.
