"A fruit and veggie salad with a bit of a tangy gingery bite. Nice mix of sweet, sour and hot."

ingredients
-
Vinaigrette
- 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot, with juice
- 1⁄4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon jalapeno, minced
- 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper powder or 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
Salad
- 1 cup cucumber, seeded and sliced
- 1 cup daikon radish, shredded
- 1 cup mango, cubed
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley or 1/4 cup red leaf lettuce, chopped
-
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
directions
- Whisk vinaigrette ingredients.
- If desired you can seed the cucumber. I didn't. Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons; add to vinaigrette. Add daikon cut into thin strips. Add the mango, cubed.
- Before serving, snip parsley into salad—the leaves retain their shape and won’t deteriorate too fast.
- Gently toss salad together. Divide salad among 4–6 small salad plates. Note: I served on a bed of red leaf lettuce. Looked beautiful with the white, light green,and yellow of the salad.
- Garnish salads with toasted sesame seeds.

I found that the daikon, vinegar, and ginger over powered the cucumber and even the mango. I think I would use more mango next time. I might try this again with different ratios. -
A bit spicy, but not too much for most; rave reviews from guests. Relatively easy to make. Chopping and grating takes up the most time. I did not remove seeds from cucumber and it was great. -
This was such a unique mixture of ingredients, which all blended together really well. The Daikon was a bit hot for me, as it usually is; I expected that. If you like that hot radish taste, you will love this salad!!

If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
