For extra crunch, add more diced vegetables like bell peppers or carrots. If you like it spicier, you can add a bit of cayenne pepper to the dressing. Taste the dressing before combining to adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed. Store in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days, stir before serving.
