    Mango Daikon Radish Mint Salad

    This Mango Daikon Radish Mint Salad is fresh, fruity, minty, and deceptively easy to make!

    Mango Daikon Radish Mint Salad

    I absolutely love fruity salads, especially ones made with mango, which I love pairing with herbs, like this Thai-inspired one with basil, or this Mexican salsa with coriander.

    I've used mint in this one because its freshness really helps enhance the sweetness of the mango. For the same reason, I love adding a squeeze of zingy lime juice to mango salads as its fragrant acidity perfectly balances the candy-like cubes of mango.

    Daikon radish tastes quite similar to normal radish but has a much milder flavour. Also sometimes known as white radish, Japanese radish, winter radish, Oriental radish or mooli radish, it is a large, long and completely white root plant.

    It is often used in Japanese cuisine, and is commonly made into pickles, grated, or added added to winter stews.

    The green leaves of the plant are often eaten too, either pickled or added to stir fries. It's incredibly healthy, boasting high levels of vitamin C and enzymes that aid digestion, among many other benefits. In Japan, is often eaten with raw fish as it has anti-bacterial properties.

    I decided to add daikon radish to this salad as it really works well with the other flavours and textures. Its peppery crunch pairs beautifully with the fragrant, juicy mango, the wonderfully refreshing mint, the heady aroma of tangy lime, and the hint of piquant chilli.

    You can buy daikon radish (often called mooli in the UK) in the exotic vegetable section of a lot of big supermarkets, from Asian supermarkets or from good vegetable markets. If you can't get hold of it, a handful of normal radishes would also work really well as a substitute.

    This salad is really easy to make and is great for preparing ahead too, so it's perfect for entertaining guests! It goes really well with curries, or may I recommend serving it alongside my:

    • Yellow Turmeric Rice
    • Tofu Satay Skewers
    • Chickpea Pumpkin Biryani
    • Peanut Tofu Stir Fry
    • Tofu Satay Curry

    If you try out this recipe or anything else from my blog, I’d really love to hear any feedback! Please give it a rating, leave a comment, or tag a photo #rhiansrecipes on Instagram! Thank you.
