Recipe Notes

Note #1- The addittion of Gochugaru or crushed red chili pepper flakes will add a spicy kick. However, the addittion of either is optional. (Gochugaru is a Korean red pepper powder commonly used to add spice and flavor to dishes like kimchi or Asian Cucumber Salad.)

Note #2- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more honey for sweetness, more rice vinegar for tanginess, Gochugaru for spiciness, or more water to thin it out.
