This easy, crunchy daikon radish salad is tossed with a toasty sesame vinaigrette that makes it the perfect summer side for all manner of grilled foods. Mild refreshing Japanese daikon radish is the crunchy white veggie you'll find as a shredded garnish when you eat sushi. When shopping in the store, look for a veggie shaped like a giant white carrot. Being large has the bonus of making it super easy to slice and dice, or in this case, julienne. The sesame vinaigrette couldn't be easier too. Its delicious toasty flavor will lend itself to other crunchy root veggies like carrots and turnips, even bulbous kohlrabi. Try it.
