It’s time to break out those spiralizers my friends! You can’t get anymore “spiralized” than with this salad! I think I felt inclined to post this recipe after I was putting together Saturday’s ReDux post and remembered my love of the Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodles. Spiralizing things just automatically makes the dish fancier and tastier. (Spiralize is also a crappy word to write. I always feel like it’s spelled wrong and my computer definitely does!) I’ll get over that though since this spiralized Thai salad must be shared! Spiralizing is the one “food fad” that I will gladly embrace. However, if you’re going to spiralize something, let’s stop with the boring zucchini noodles please. Step it up! If you don’t know where to start, I have a few ideas including this one today.

What did I spiralize for this salad you may be asking. Well, I spiralized a daikon and cucumber. Two perfect veggies for spiralizing because of there shape and you don’t have to peel anything. Along with these two veggies, there’s thinly sliced bell pepper, shredded carrots, and bamboo shoots! To make these veggies all the more Thai, I added coconut vinegar, coconut, cilantro, and of course some coriander! This salad comes together super quick too, you’ll just need to refrigerate it and allow it to marinate before serving for optimal taste 😉 (Think you can wait that long?)

This dish is also a great way to use the uncommon veggie, daikon. It’s a mild type of Asian radish that really has no taste, but is super crunchy and eaten raw, but you can roast them! I think I had first tried daikon in one of my first produce boxes from Frieda’s and ever since, I’ve loved them. I find them right with all the cabbage, beets, and radishes at my grocery. They’re just cut in random lengths and thrown in a basket. Sometimes they are huge, other times there are smaller cuts, so it’s always a hit-or-miss with buying size. Daikon also has some great greens growing from it’s root. So if you can buy a whole daikon radish with greens still attached, do it!

Maybe you’re noticed a theme here, but the “weird” veggies you see in the grocery and most likely pass up in favor of your comforting old zucchini and celery, are actually pretty cool! Let this be another lesson in not judging a veggie or fruit by it’s “cover” 😉 If you do, you’ll never know the greatness you’re missing out on! So let’s end that once and for all with this salad!

  3. Place in the fridge to marinate and chill for at least an hour before serving.

Ready to never eat boring common veggies again? Actually, I must admit, boring raw veggies will always be my favorite. I could eat raw beets, zucchini, celery, carrots, even just plain lettuce and I’d be happy, but I’m just an extreme veggie lover. Don’t get me wrong though, weird veggies like daikon and celeriac are near and dear to this veggie lover’s heart too! In the word’s of Frieda’s, “Fear no fruit!” (or veggie in this case). 😉 I want you to take me seriously when I say I’m challenging you this week to pick up at least ONE new to your veggie or fruit! I guarantee you will be glad you did! Make something fun and tag me on twitter or instagram (@rebeccagf666) showing me how you used it!

So tell me:

+ Have you ever tried daikon?

+ Any veggie of fruit you’ve been curious to try, but haven’t?

    Wow, so many different colourful vegetables in one dish – that’s food for the eyes for sure. If only I had a spiralizer – yes, being on a strict budget that doesn’t allow for any more huge purchases is so. much. fun. Not.

    I love daikon. And I love bamboo shoots (I know a lot of people find them slimy, but I adore them!). This salad looks so light and fresh. Beautiful!

      I love them!! I always rinse them off from the can, but I don’t think they’re slimy at all!

    I need to get on the spiral and Daikon wagon! My spiralizer is stored in the garage because I have a very small kitchen and I forget it’s out there until I see yummy recipe like this. Thank you for his and the love– right back at ya. xoxo

    I love daikon! My parents live in Asia so I get to eat a lot of it whenever I visit. I actually don’t find it bland, but maybe it’s because I always have it in hearty Chinese dishes/stews where it’s been braised and simmered for hours and hours. This spiralized Thai salad sounds delish!

    I love this! I picked up a daikon a few weeks ago but ended up having to toss it because it stayed in my fridge so long and I didn’t really know what to do with it. I wish I would’ve seen this salad then, it looks fantastic!

      Now you know 😉 Never let it go to waste! You could always just chop it up and toss is raw and crunchy in any side salad!

    This salad looks so tasty and I love bamboo shoots. So good! Daikon is a new one for me, but I’m going to keep an eye out for it. I’ve resisted buying a spiralizer because I really don’t need anymore kitchen gadgets, but maybe it’s time 🙂

    The Raw Balsamic Tahini Beet Noodles have a blog recipe brother now!!! And you know why I am especially excited? BAMBOO SHOOTS!!!!!!! I love those things! I really don’t even know where they come from or what part of the plant I’m eating, but I love them in stir fries and I know I would love them in raw noodley doodley doos too!! Never tried (or seen) daikon, but based on googling it look like a giant carrot, so perfect for spiralizing! This definitely brightened my Monday, thank you!

    First off, gosh I love those pictures <3 Now if that doesn't look appetizing, I don't know what does! I still don't own a spiralizer and I feel like I'm literally the only food blogger who doesn't 😀 I didn't know coconut vinegar existed, but it sounds like something I would love 😉 Oh, and I've never tried daikon, I don't think I can find it here…But, I'm going to keep my eyes peeled and see if it pops up in some of the more ethnic food stores around here!

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      Get one!!! They aren’t even expensive!!
      They say raw coconut vinegar is even better than apple cider vinegar 😉
      They WILL have it at an Asian market for sure, but otherwise I just always see it at my normal hometown grocery, haha! Super crisp, crunchy, and white!
      P.S. Thank you! xoxo
