For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the dressing. If you don't have dried cranberries, substitute with raisins or chopped dates for a similar sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount of Asian chile paste to suit your spice preference. For a richer flavor, toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad. This salad is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
