8. Now you can prepare the sauce, which will add spiciness to the salad. To make the sauce, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and the juice of half a lemon. Peel the ginger and grate finely. Wash the chili pepper and chop (removing the seeds will reduce the salad's spiciness). Add the ginger, chili, a little salt, and ground black pepper to the sauce. Whisk thoroughly until well blended.
