Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Daikon radish
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces (julienne). Alternatively, use a mandoline slicer for uniform cuts.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchstick-sized pieces.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into thin slices or matchsticks.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and red chili flakes (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned daikon, carrot, mango, and cilantro.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the vegetables and mango are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the salad for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld together.
