Daikon radish is oftentimes overlooked as a plant-based culinary tool, yet this wonderful root veggie happens to be a powerfully flavorful ingredient to spice up or sweeten any dish. Plus, it’s super versatile and can be eaten raw or cooked, sliced as a garnish, or diced for cooking.

Not only is pickled daikon radish super tasty and nutrient-rich, but it’s a useful topping for salads, mixing into larger entrees, adding to soups, or simply eating raw. Plus, pickled daikon radish is also a great source of gut-boosting probiotics. The pickling process involves a period of fermentation, which generates healthy microorganisms that, when consumed, help populate your body and keep it running smoothly.
This Fettuccine Alfredo by Doug McNish is creamy and rich and has an astounding depth of flavor that will keep you coming back for more. It goes so well with grilled portobello mushrooms and fresh greens, such as green peas or arugula, then sprinkle the top with a little nutritional yeast and freshly cracked pepper. I also serve it with a lemon wedge for good measure.
