So simple and yet packed of flavour! Makes any dish (as a side) or a simple toast with a topping become even better

This salad’s flavor was a bit too simple for me. The dressing just wasn’t enough for me. I’ll certainly finish it off but wouldn’t make again. I also paired this with the PUL Bulgogi Summer Rolls recipe.
