This salad is not only easy to make but also looks elegant on the plate. In this recipe, you toss thinly sliced carrots and daikon with a flavorful dressing made from sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar. This Asian-inspired homemade dressing really amps up the flavor without adding too many calories, unlike many store-bought options. I recommend using toasted sesame oil for that nutty, savory kick that makes this refreshing salad feel new and exciting.

Finished off with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions, this salad offers both texture and nutrition, making it the perfect side for cozy winter meals.
To make the Daikon Carrot Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing, you will need the following ingredients:
Peel the daikon and carrot. Use a vegetable peeler to slice thin strips from both the radish and the carrot. For easier slicing, press the vegetable against a cutting board and peel away from your body. Place the vegetable slices in a salad bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 grated garlic clove, grated ginger, and a dash of salt and black pepper until well incorporated.
Combine the dressing with the sliced daikon and carrots, add 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, and mix well.
Serve sprinkled with thinly sliced green onions. Enjoy!
