  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp. chile oil
  • 1 tsp. sichuan peppercorns
  • 6 cups loosely packed mixed Asian salad greens, like mizuna and tatsoi
  • 3 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
  • 4 small red radishes, thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1⁄2 medium carrot, julienned

  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish
