A crispy, juicy, and sweet radish salad with white radish, radicchio, garden cress and a simple vinaigrette.
White radish, also known as daikon, is moderately high in Vitamin C, and contain dietary fiber which is important to help keep your body's digestive system functioning smoothly. According to "Traditional Chinese Medicine", white radish is sweet in taste and cool in nature. It aids to clear away heat in the body effectively and promote the digestion.
It is also used in the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, mineral deficiencies, and liver and gallbladder troubles.
While white radishes can be eaten cooked, such stir-fried or in soup, they are very delicious in raw form and juiced. If you are interested in learning more about this humble root vegetable, read more here.

- Peel the radish and slice it into thin disks or half-moons. Try using a mandolin slicer if you have one, for even thin slices. Finely shred the radicchio.
- Whisk the white wine vinegar with the oil, sugar, and salt. Arrange the radish, radicchio and garden cress on a serving dish. Drizzle the dressing over and sprinkle with the crushed red peppercorns.

So, so pretty you made this! I love just to munch on radishes; but, I've never had a white one!
Very informative post here! I never knew all the benefits of radishes, guess I need to eat more of them. Your salad is a nice way to get them into my diet. Great pics.
Such elegant summer salads!
*kisses* HH
I love this combination and your presentation is beautiful! I am a big fan of daikon. The Japanese say it helps to absorb less salt, so I often have it with miso soup (quite salty).
Thank you!! I just bought a bunch of radishes, got them home, then realized I had no idea what to do with them. But they were just so pretty! :)
This is such a beautiful salad! I love radishes. Although I'm the only one in my family who does, I try to get my family to eat them through creative dishes like this. Nice presentation!
Looks beautiful! I've recently come to really love radishes, love that peppery flavor and that crunch, brings so much to a salad. I'd love this one!
A very healthy salad dish, I love the colour combination, looks so sweet :)
What a gorgeous presentation, this looks delicious :)
I've always been a radish lover and add them to my green salads all the time. But, I like the idea of a salad featuring radishes especially with the lovely garden cress sprinkled on top;-)
Angie, what a beautiful presentation of a nice cooling salad! We eat daikon radish a lot here, too, and this will be added to my recipe list for sure! Thanks for sharing.
Angie! Gorgeous.... - your presentation is divine! Love it!
I discovered garden cress this spring in North Carolina! That peppery flavor and delicate texture is addicting!
I think this has to be one of the prettiest salads I've ever seen...and I can just imagine it's bright, refreshing flavor!
Dear Angie have made a great delicacy, cress love, hugs and kisses.
WOW! Lovely pictures and I really love your salads :)

Just realized this line before above your comment section, Angie! I should borrow this line from you since quite a few blogger don't even know what is the Name/URL, and the problem with google which still isn't solved, this option would work best!
The issue I had at my son's has no bearing on your blog; the only reason it blocked from even browsing, is because you have a lot of advertisement on your blog. I'm using my computer now, and it works just fine!
Love the radish salad...it appears to be Daikan radish which is a huge favorite of mine. Love the colorful radicchio, and the watercress combo.
So refreshing, and delish!!!
Your photos are always incredible... you make a salad look sexy! WOW! :)
I love daikon and have a "go to salad recipe" to use it. Nice to see another recipe - and such a pretty, summery one at that.

Love how you presented the salads...so pretty and elegant. I knew of the white radish being in the cool side, but had no idea that was so good for the digestive system. Thank you so much for the information.

Radish and radicchio are two veggies I never quite know what to do with! What a gorgeous salad.

I haven't enjoyed radishes for some time now, and this salad certainly reminds me of what i'm missing. Now following you on FB Networked Blogs; I'd love if you could follow back in the same way, cuz I just got started in it on my blog. Have a wonderful day!

I just discovered daikon and am very happy to have this recipe. Your presentation is beautiful.
Such a gorgeous salad! Wow!
Gorgeous plate of salad! Beautiful! Stunning photos, Angie! And your salad looks really good!
Simple and elegant. I will try this recipe using my garden French radishes, too.
Juiced daikon sounds quite interesting and rather unusual to me. Your salad looks so lovely! The micro greens are especially eye catching.
What an exceptional salad, and I love this use of daikon, I need to head back to the market and get some soon.
