Just a note: this can be made with ANY color radish despite the title :)

When Gene studied abroad during college he enjoyed a green papaya salad almost daily with his host family.  This is a different version that is inspired by this tropical salad using winter radishes instead.  We like to use "green meat" or green daikons to mimic the color of green papayas but you may use watermelon, black spanish, purple, or even small summer radishes also.  Enjoy its spicy taste to enhance any meal!

1 lb. radish, coarsely grated/julienned
½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed
¼-1 tsp chili flakes (to taste)
1 ½ Tbls fish sauce (or soy sauce)
1 ½ Tbls vegetable oil
2 Tbls lime juice
2 tsp honey

Whisk together chili flakes, fish sauce, oil, lime juice, and honey until well mixed and honey is dissolved. Pour this dressing over the radish in a bowl and toss to coat. Taste and adjust flavorings to taste. Garnish with the peanuts and serve.
