My spice-hating wife gave it 2 enthusiastic thumbs up and proceeded to eat half the entire bowl. There is a little kick - but not much. Feel free to use less gochugaru if you want. Or more!

How Much Salad Does This Make?

This recipe makes 4 average-sized side salads or 2 BIG salads.

How Long Will It Keep in the Fridge?
