Notes

Notes & Tips:
  • This salad isn't fussy--if you can't find mini bell peppers or Persian cucumbers, that's just fine. Use what you can find!
  • You can easily make your own creamy sesame ginger dressing with this recipe: Creamy Asian Dressing.
  • Chili Crisp: This can be found in the Asian section of most large grocery stores. At Trader Joe's, it's called Crunchy Chili Onion.
  • Store-bought dressings vary in flavor. Start with a little dressing, then slowly add more as needed. I found the sweet spot is about 1/2 a cup but feel free to add or omit as you see fit.
