How to Make Diakon Radish Carrot Salad

  1. Peel and julienne 1 large diakon radish and 2 medium carrots. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of kosher salt evenly over the radish and carrots. Gently toss to combine.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  4. Using your hands or a clean kitchen towel, thoroughly squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the vegetables.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Pour the vinegar mixture over the squeezed radish and carrot mixture.
  7. Gently toss to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad tastes even better the next day! Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
