do you mean daikon?

here is the simplest recipe i make with daikon

grate equal amounts of daikon, beet and carrot. add sea salt and sesame oil

does nto get much easier than this salad! and it tastes and looks wonderful.

i love daikon and make tons of recipes with it

I recall a thread about daikon in the 'herbal medicine' tribe. I pickle shredded daikon and carrots and it goes into Vietnamese sandwhiches. You can also boil it and add to soup (although it's a bit stinky - like cabbage, but more pungent).

"think there was a salad and vinegar recipe"

I bet you're thinking of sunomono. It's a Japanese salad made from daikon and cucumber in a rice vinegar dressing. Here's a simple traditional recipe: japanesefood.about.com/od/sal...uno.htm

The Japanese love daikon and have many recipes and uses for it. Since it can be eaten raw, cooked or pickled, it's a versatile vegetable. It's a popular addition to soups-just slice it or cut it into chunks and simmer it in your stock of choice until tender. This is about as simple as a soup can be: japanesefood.about.com/od/mis...kon.htm Also works just as well in stews and casseroles. Just cook it like you would a turnip or rutabaga.

If you see daikon shoots in your market, these are great additions to other greens in a salad, in sushi rolls, or make a lovely garnish for shellfish, fish dishes or cold poultry preparations. They're peppery and spicy and remind me of a radish on steroids. Use them the same day you buy them for the best flavor and texture.

Is it pickled already (yellow watery package)

if so you can always dice it (coarse) and serve it atop rice with seseme seed and bonito flakes, maybe some crab... or better yet make sticky rice and it is wonderful served in sushi rolls... beleive it or not I find it very nice rolled in with of all things ham... the tastes blend in well together.

Experiment, don't be afraid

Here is a link to a very Yummmyyy Daikon/Carrot Pickle recipe. I use these pickles in my salad instead of salad dressing!!
