What to Make with Daikon? Marinated Carrots, Daikon & Radishes

Have you ever tried a daikon? Sometimes called white radish or Japanese radish, daikon look like large white carrots and have a crisp texture with a mild flavor. Growing up, my parents made a shredded carrot and daikon salad flavored with sunflower oil and a bit of salt.

These days you can find daikon in most grocery stores. They have very thin skin and add a great crunch to your sandwiches, salads or crudite platters.

Last weekend I made Marinated Carrots, Daikon & Radishes adapted from a recipe I saw on White On Rice Couple.

Use these marinated vegetables as a snack, to add some crunch to a sandwich or as a side with chicken or fish. The recipe takes minutes to put together and requires no cooking!
