Notes

Expert Tips for Making This Recipe
    • When chopping the vegetables, make them roughly the same size. You want the pieces small enough to be bite-sized and consistent throughout the salad.
    • For a spicier salad, add 1 teaspoon or sriracha or a few drops of your favorite hot sauce in the salad dressing.
    • Season to taste! You may want to add more soy sauce or sesame oil to this dish to suite your own tastes.
Additions and Substitutions
Add in your favorite chopped vegetables into this dish: fresh bell pepper, shelled edamame, sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, or snow peas would all be great additions.
Toasted sesame oil has a wonderful flavor and adds a lot to this recipe. If you don't have sesame oil, olive oil is a great substitute.
Add some heat! Use chili flakes, sriracha, or wasabi paste to add a bit of spiciness to this dish.
