Better than Korean-style carrots: recipe for a spicy vegetable salad

To diversify the holiday menu and add spice, Korean-style carrots are usually prepared. However, this takes a lot of time because the dish needs to be pickled. Therefore, it is worth using a much simpler and more interesting salad idea. It contains a traditional set of vegetables, including carrots, and a spectacular dressing that will make the dish truly exquisite.

The idea for the spicy carrot salad was shared by Odesa-based chef Valeriy (ponomar_valeriy) on his Instagram page.
