Daikon is a root vegetable, a relative of our radishes and radishes. Daikon tastes very similar to radishes, but is not as hot, and moreover, it is easier to work with: radishes are difficult to grate, but daikon is easy.
Daikon is low in calories, only 19-20 calories per 100g, while it has a mild diuretic property, softens phlegm and disinfects the entire digestive tract.
Daikon is best consumed raw. For example, in salads.
The daikon salad with carrots is very tasty.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- a third of daikon,
- 1 carrot,
- a third of a lemon,
- 1 tsp. olive oil,
- 1 tsp. sesame,
- black pepper to taste.
Step by step recipe with photo:
Peel the daikon for the salad and grate it for Korean carrots.
You will get neat thin long strips of snow-white daikon. Place them in a bowl.
Peel the carrots for the daikon salad and grate them on the same grater to get strips of root vegetables of the same size and shape.
Place the grated carrots on top of the daikon and sprinkle with lemon juice. I don't add salt to this salad, but it's up to your taste.
Season the salad with black pepper and add a spoonful of olive oil. Mix. Daikon is a rather juicy root vegetable, so the salad dressing will be a mixture of olive oil with daikon and lemon juice.
Place the daikon and carrot salad in the center of the plate. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Serve the salad immediately after preparation.
Bon appetit!

This daikon salad with carrots and apple will appeal to all lovers of healthy and low-calorie food. After all, it contains only fresh, crisp vegetables and fruits. Moreover, this version of the salad is prepared in a salted form, although you can use honey for dressing, add a handful of raisins or other dried fruits, and the end result is a sweet salad that is perfect for breakfast or as a light dinner, just like the salty version. For the sweet version, you need to exclude purple onions from the recipe.
To prepare, we will need daikon, carrots, apple, unrefined sunflower oil, mustard beans, salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice.
So, before cooking, rinse all the vegetables and apple with cool water, dry with a paper towel and remove the peel. Buy daikon fresh, with firm flesh. If the vegetable is limp, the salad will not taste the same.
To chop, use a Korean carrot grater, a sharp knife or a regular coarse grater. Choose the grinding method at your discretion. It’s just that the thinner the ingredients are sliced, the juicier the salad will be. I used a loin grater to grate the daikon.
Grind the carrot root in the same way. Add it to a salad bowl with daikon.
Cut the peeled onion into thin half rings and add to the rest of the ingredients.
Grind the peeled apple.
Immediately sprinkle it with lemon juice.
Now let's prepare the dressing. In a bowl, mix grain mustard and sunflower oil.
Salt and season with ground black pepper. If necessary, drizzle with more lemon juice and add dressing. Stir and immediately serve the daikon salad with carrots and apple to the table.
Bon appetit!

- If mayonnaise is used as a dressing, take it only with fat, because daikon does not go well with lean at all.
- To make the salad taste even more intense, let it sit for at least half an hour, although this is not necessary.
- The bitter taste of a very “evil” relka will be softened by a small amount of sour cream. It is added to the mayonnaise - the resulting mixture and seasoned with the salad.
