This recipe was made with my fellow CSA members in mind. It’s seems that my CSA has had a recent over abundance of daikon radish. Daikon radish isn’t a common grocery store find, so it’s one of those CSA box items that can be a bit intimidating. Daikon is white in color, has a cylindrical shape, and looks much different than the little red radishes at the grocery store. It’s flavor is somewhat similar, but a little milder and sweeter than a red radish. For those readers who don’t care for the spiciness of red radish, you might find that daikon is more your speed. Also, if you don’t have access to daikon radishes, you can still make this recipe using regular red radishes and the salad will still be delicious!
