Salad Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, julienned
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Toss all salad ingredients together in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dressing ingredients until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for a while to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh to retain the crunchiness. For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds. Feel free to substitute the cucumber and carrots with other vegetables like bell peppers or radishes.
