Refreshing and Cleansing Radish Salad

Inspired by The Great American Detox Diet, by son

This cookbook author’s filmmaker fiance (of Supersize Me fame) suffered

terrible ill effects from eating fast food for a month, so she devised

this and other recipes to detoxify his system and bring him back to

fitness. Even if you‘re already in the pink of health, you will feel the

goodness of this crunchy, tasty salad. There’s more to it than radishes:

apples, carrot, and citrus all add to the lively flavors and health

benefits.

2 cups peeled and thinly sliced daikon radishes

1 cup thinly sliced green apple, sliced into half-moons

1/3 cup grated carrot

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, sliced into half-moons

1 red radish, grated

1/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice

2 teaspoons brown rice syrup or maple syrup

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

10 leaves fresh mint and cilantro

Combine daikon, apple, carrot, onion, and red radish in a large mixing bowl.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, rice syrup,

lime juice, and salt.

Pour the liquid over the vegetables and toss well to combine. Garnish

with mint and cilantro.

Serves 4 to 6.
