This recipe is inspired by a pickle my family and I enjoyed at a local Asian restaurant. It is a delicious side to roasted meats as well as a tasty condiment on a burger or sandwich. You won't miss the high fat dressing or mayonnaise. —Lisa Keys, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1 medium daikon radish, peeled and julienned
1 cup julienned carrots
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup white vinegar
