Daikon Radishes are thriving in the garden this year. Here are two we pulled. I like the diakon because they are a mild radish and they go well in salads or just to slice as snacks. I make a Daikon and Carrot pickled salad with them. You plant the seeds in September and we have been harvesting since December. They get quite large these are about 14 inches long. They did well in the frost although for some of the larger ones that had the root exposed, the exposed part did freeze. We just cut that part off but these should be harvested if the root is large enough to be exposed before a freeze.
Daikon and Carrot Pickled SaladOne Daikon radish - peeled and grated
2-3 Carrots (depending on size) peeled and grated.
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tablespoons sesame oil.
Use a food processor to grate the radish and carrot as its just easier if you have one. Combine all ingredients and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour. Serve with lettuce greens or by itself as a side.
