With this crazy heat wave we’re experiencing right now in Vancouver, there’s nothing that beats a meal that requires zero cooking. We’re all about salads at this time of year, and this crisp and refreshing daikon carrot creation is just what you need to cool down. Paired with a zippy umeboshi dressing, this salad would pair perfectly with a simple protein like leftover roast chicken or fish — and a sunny patio, of course! —Adrian and Jeremy
