Daikon Salad {Surówka z rzodkwi}
Daikon in Polish is called biała rzodkiew [bya-wa rzoh-dkyev] = white radish. It has a sharp flavor of a radish, and snowy while flesh. In the daikon salad, when it’s combined with yoghurt, heavy cream, spices and lemon juice it tastes creamy and refreshing. I often see it being served as a part of a salad-trio in Polish restaurants. The other two are often sauerkraut salad and carrot salad or beet salad. I like it served with meat dishes, like stewed pork ribs or beef rolls or fried fish.
Daikon Salad {Sałatka z Rzodkwi}
Ingredients
- 1 daikon
- ¼ c / 60 ml of plain yogurt
- ¼ c / 60 ml of heavy cream
- Juice of ½-1 lemon
- ½ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Wash and peel daikon. Grate on the largest side of a box grater.
Place in a bowl, add yogurt, heavy cream, lemon, sugar and salt. Mix, and taste. If too dry, add another tablespoon of cream and yogurt. It should be pretty moist, but not soupy.
Chill until serving.
I hope you give this crunchy, refreshing salad a try. Let me know what you think if you do.
Smacznego!
