No More Boring Salads: Daikon Salad with Sweet Ginger Sesame Dressing

Those who think salads are boring have never traveled throughout Asia. Whereas in many American restaurants a salad is really nothing more than rabbit food topped with industrial sludge (dressing), throughout Asia many salads are actually a work of art -- edible art!

One of the favorite ingredients in many Asian salads is a rather ugly vegetable called a daikon radish (also known as a Japanese radish). It is a long white tuber that does taste like a mild domestic radish yet with a tad of natural sweetness. Most supermarkets carry daikon radishes in their produce section.

To make this salad, Chef Larry Edwards will take you through the steps on ribboning the daikon radish. It is quite easy and all you'll need are a vegetable peeler and a knife. Once the daikon radish is ribboned, you make the salad and top it with a very special and delicious Sweet Ginger Sesame Dressing.

At Fusion Asiana this salad is served with either smoked fish or sauteed shrimp (as you will see in the pictures).
