For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sugar to the dressing. If you don't have red pepper flakes, a dash of your favorite hot sauce will work as a substitute. To save time, you can use a mandoline to thinly slice the cucumber and julienne the carrot. This salad is best served chilled. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will develop.
