White radish, also known as daikon, is a nutritious root vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Low in calories and high in fiber, it supports digestion, boosts immunity, and brings a refreshing crunch to meals. This easy-to-make salad combines white radish with leeks, garlic, and a tangy olive oil dressing, making it a healthy and flavorful addition to any table.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium white radish, peeled and coarsely grated
- 1 medium leek, finely chopped
- 2 stalks of young garlic, finely chopped (or 3-4 cloves of regular garlic, minced)
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
- Peel and coarsely grate the radish.
- Wash and finely chop the leek and young garlic (or regular garlic if young garlic is unavailable). Add them to the grated radish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the vegetables and mix well.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
