Directions
1. Peel the radish and carrots and cut them into really thin strips. We used a handy julienne peeler for this; a spiralizer will also do the trick.
2. Place radish and carrot in a medium bowl. Combine ingredients to make the vinaigrette (sesame oil, white vinegar, honey, salt, and ginger) and sprinkle the salad with it. Sprinkle with red pepper powder and scallion, toss to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed.
