For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of sesame oil to the dressing. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes entirely. This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
