Diakon Salad With Miso Dressing

I love going to the Korean supermarket. I found one not far from where I live and besides the big selection of mushrooms that I have mentioned before, they also have really fresh produce. I saw the daikon radish there and decided that I would make something  with it. Growing up we always ate daikon radish with chicken soup. Apparently it’s a Hungarian thing, but I decided to try something a little more Asian inspired. I gathered all my Asian condiments and created a really tasty dressing. I served this for dinner when I had some guests and I had them guess what vegetable it was. It took a while but I think they finally figured it out, mostly because this salad is a little unexpected.

This is really simple to make. You can shred the radish and make the dressing ahead of time and mix them right before you serve it.

Most of the ingredients are actually for the salad dressing.
