For extra flavor, try using red wine vinegar instead of white vinegar. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a bit more sugar to the dressing. To add some heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the dressing. Ensure the okra is thoroughly thawed and dried before frying to achieve the best texture. This salad is best served cold.
