Daikon is the winter vegetable you should be eating—peppery, crunchy, crisp.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup

1 1/2 cups matchsticks peeled daikon (from about 1/2 medium)
3 ounces Manchego cheese, shaved, divided
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss pumpkin seeds and 1 tsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 5 minutes; let cool. Finely chop 2 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds.

    Step 2

  • 注意:我并没有完全根据配方. I made it with green cabbage and fennel (no daikon, celery or root on hand) sliced thin on the mandolin and added a little purple cabbage and purple onion and a whole thinly sliced shallot. I didn't have pumpkin seeds, which is probably key to the dressing's flavor, but it was still really good without it. I like easy dressings I can whip up quickly and this one was a winner.

  • I made this last night and I thought it was pretty good. I also didn't have an Asian Pear and used an apple. I like healthy salads that have good flavor I think next time I will add some herbs to give it a little more dimension. Not sure about the nutrition facts on the recipe. 30 grams of fat seems high I did not add that much cheese, maybe less than required and I did add more vegetables, most likely. Also I did a mix of fennel and cabbage.

  • I made this recipe multiple times over the holidays and everyone loved it. When I didn't have asian pear, I used green apple. When I didn't have daikon, replaced it with jicama. The pumpkin seeds in the dressing is what really makes it!
