Salad Horseradish
Recipe by Marie-Danielle
Horseradish is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family (which also includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage) and is cultivated primarily for its large, tapered root which, intact, has hardly any aroma. When cut or grated, however, the sharp taste becomes apparent. While many people are aware of horseradish sauce (much favoured on beef), less people are aware that you can eat horseradish as part of a salad meal.

How to Cook Salad Horseradish
- If you are not using the whole horseradish (which will usually provide suffciient for between 4 and 6 people), cut off the portion required and peel it to remove the skin (sometimes black, sometimes brown). Cut the white flesh into slices like slicing a cucumber (slices about one-eight of an inch - 3mm - thick). Salt these generously on both sides and place on a plate in the fridge for between 30 and 60 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and drain off the water. Pat the horseradish dry using paper kitchen towels. Serve with a mixed salad (many people like to put a little unsalted butter on each slice as they eat them).
MARIE-DANIELLE'S HOT TIP:
Don't be afraid to salt the horseradish well. When you dry them on kitchen paper most of the salt will be removed. The salt removes the excess water and softens the flesh.
