This spicy and tangy salad can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish. Daikon radish is the star ingredient of this dish and is usually available in Asian markets. The radish has a slightly sweet, mild taste and a crisp texture that is perfect for salads. Pairing daikon with chili, scallions and a zesty dressing elevates the dish to a new level.
