Daikon Radish Salad

This Daikon Radish Salad is dressed simply in a garlic vinaigrette and sprinkled with Korean red pepper powder for a bit of heat.

I hit up the Korean market in our town because I’m cooking up a batch of homemade kimchi – An experiment that I hope goes well – It needs to ferment for about a month before I’ll know for sure 😉 (more on that later)…

Anyways, if you’ve never been to an Asian foods market, you’re in for a treat and an experience! There are all kinds of food that you’ve never seen in an American market – dried shrimp, hundreds of different chili powders, fresh fish, kimchi that comes in Costco sized jars (why am I making my own?), and on and on… I could spend a few hours in that place.

The Asian foods store is a bit confusing though! I wonder, am I picking the right chili powder, or is this a brand that no one buys? What about these little dried shrimp? Does everyone know I’m making kimchi just because I have those in my basket?

Well, all that shopping got me hungry, and, when I was finished making above said kimchi, I had some leftover radish and Korean red pepper powder on my hands. So, I used my nifty julienne tool to shred up the daikon and decided to toss this Daikon Radish Salad together.

It came together in just 15-minutes and I couldn’t wait to dig in! It was sweet and sour and tangy and spicy, and so good.
