Japanese Daikon Carrot Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Shave the daikon into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a colander; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, shave the carrots into ribbons with the peeler.
• Make the dressing: Whisk the ginger, vinegar, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the vegetable oil and sesame oil until blended.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until the white seeds are golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon seeds to the dressing.
• Toss the daikon and carrots with the dressing and season with salt. Top with the remaining sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and refrigerate to cool. Place daikon and carrot in a glass jar with the cilantro and chile peppers. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over, submerging the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Steps:

• Grate carrot, cucumber and daikon together into a medium bowl. Stir in horseradish and a pinch of salt. Add a spoonful of mayo and two heaping spoonfuls of sour cream. Mix well, adding additional mayo or sour cream as needed to pull the salad together. Taste, adjust horseradish and salt as needed.

Steps:

• Cut the carrot and daikon into the thinest strips you can; I use a zester to do this and it works really well.
• Sprinkle the vegetables with the half teaspoon of salt and allow to stand in a colander 10-15 minutes or until limp.
• Transfer to a bowl.
• Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the vegetables.
• Taste for salt.
