Step 1:

How do you make a healthy, tasty salad of daikon, cucumber, and apple? Get all the ingredients ready. Use a sweet-and-sour apple, and any oil you like: olive, sunflower, canola, and so on.
Step 2:

Wash the vegetables, apple, and lemon well. Peel the daikon and carrot.
Step 3:

Grate the daikon on a julienne (Korean-salad) grater. You can use a regular coarse grater. Put the daikon in the salad bowl. Alternatively, you can cut all the ingredients by hand into very thin strips, though it takes a little longer.
Step 4:

Next comes the carrot — grate it the same way as the daikon. Add it to the salad bowl too.
Step 5:

Grate the cucumber and lightly squeeze out the juice. Add it to the daikon and carrot.
Step 6:

Grate the apple, lightly squeeze out the juice, and immediately sprinkle it with lemon juice. This keeps the apple from browning, so it looks more appetizing in the finished salad. You can peel the apple beforehand if you like.
Step 7:

Season the salad with salt to taste, drizzle with vegetable oil, and add ground pepper. Sprinkle the salad with finely chopped fresh herbs. Toss, then taste to see if there's enough salt and tang; if anything's missing, add it to taste.
Step 8:

The vitamin-rich salad is ready! You can serve it!

Daikon is very good for you. Thanks to its high nutrient content, it strengthens the immune system. It flushes excess fluid from the body, cleanses the kidneys and liver, and stimulates the intestines. For weight loss, white Japanese radish is simply the perfect ingredient! Radish is added to all kinds of vegetable salads. Young roots can be eaten on their own — they're delicious with sour cream or olive oil. Daikon, carrot, cucumber, and apple salad makes an ideal accompaniment to meat and potato dishes. Sometimes I serve it with fish. On diet days, the salad can stand in for a late dinner. Be sure to try it! Enjoy!
