This slaw brings in some classic Korean flavours in daikon radish, nashi pear and gochugaru into an elegant side salad. The dressing is one I’m really proud of, it’s a nashi pear vinaigrette with just a touch of soy sauce and some gochugaru to give it depth. This is a really great side dish for grilled meats it has summery vibes and brings some unexpected spice to traditional salad. For those who don’t know, gochugaru is a Korean chilli powder it has a slightly flaky texture and a mild toasted flavour.
