Keto Daikon Cucumber Salad. This is probably one of the easier salads on the site and really all it takes is a little time to marinate three veggies while you go about the rest of your kitchen business. Recipe is for four and can be multiplied for more. This keto daikon cucumber salad was originally featured with Beef Tataki, it is so good, and I have fixed it so many times that I am making it a stand alone recipe. It has nearly zero calories but what makes it keto is the olive oil.

- 7-8 Inches Peeled Daikon Radish Sliced Paper Thin
- ½ Large Cucumber
- ½ t Salt
- 2 Shallots
- 1½ T Olive Oil
- 2 t Sugar-Free Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 t Tamari
- 2 t Just Like Sugar Brown*** (Or Sweetener Of Choice)

- Slice daikon radish, rinse under cold water, put into a bowl, salt, and add cold water to just cover. (This will soften the radish). When ready, squeeze out water. You will know it’s ready when the radish becomes translucent and very pliable. At least an hour and more time is fine as you want them to kind of fold over themselves.
- Slice cucumber, put into bowl, (no water), lightly salt and toss well. (This will soften cucumber). You will have a little cucumber juice left and I just add it to the vinaigrette cause…it tastes so good.
- Make vinaigrette, thinly slice shallots and put into vinaigrette. (This will soften shallots).
- Place down radish, then cucumber, top with onions and spoon on vinaigrette.
- Top with freshly ground pepper.

- If you do not have a mandoline I would discourage making this salad as you will not be able to cut the vegetables thinly enough by hand.
- The idea here is to have about a ⅓ cucumber to ⅔ radish ratio. Not set in any stone and just an approximate. It just makes for a prettier plate.
- Don't assemble until ready to serve.
- If you really want to up the flavor profile, and you have them, you might sprinkle on some black seeds. No, not black sesame seeds but real black seeds. (Nigella Sativa)
