Daikon radish is a common vegetable in Asian. Typically in season during winter but available all-year round. There are many daikon radish recipes available, making a salad is a popular way to cook daikon. Today I made a healthy Carrot and Daikon Radish Salad with simple sesame oil dressing.
This dish takes less than 10 minutes to make. To start, I used a vegetable spiralizer to cut then into “spaghetti strands”. The noodle shape helps the ingredients to better absorb the salad dressing later and is very fun to eat!
I added some chopped Thai chili pepper for a spicy kick, if you prefer a non-spicy version, chopped scallion is a great substitute. The seasoning for this dish is real simple. Sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sesame seeds are all we need to give this dish a balanced and refreshing sweet and sour taste.
