Radish Salad
Rettishsalat
Ingredients
4- persons 1/2 cup
Ingredients:
1/2 large daikon radish, or
4-6 medium white or black radishes or if you can't find those
1 bunch red radish, but they should be your last choice.
1 teaspoon salt
pinch of sugar
Juice of 1 lemon (2 tablespoons)
Creamy dressing:
1 cup of sour cream or yogurt.
You can also make a blend of mayonnaise and sour cream.
Directions:
1. I like to use a mandoline
This one is a Swissmar Mandoline
inexpensive dishwasher safe and I have used it for years now.
2. You can also use a large French knife or a paring knife and cut small strips.
You can use a grater and make smaller shreds also.
3. Shake or measure about a 1/2 teaspoon in and work into the shreds with your fingers.
4. Wait about 10minutes and the radish will weep 1/2 a cup of water out.
If you can wait an hour that is better.
Drain well in a sieve and squeeze out much of the remaining juice.
5. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of sugar.
Mix up the creamy dressing. It is tradition to use a quark, or sour cream base.
Some folks now use a light in fat yogurt and even mayonnaise.
6. Blend in the creamy dressing.
Serve on a bed of lettuce.
