Daikon Radish and Cucumber Salad with Yuzu Dressing

It makes me happy to see more products on the market with Yuzu flavor. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus with a very distinctive aroma. For a long time, we could get our hands on them only when we go back to Japan, but I'm seeing a few things out there I can use for my cooking now. I used avocado oil to make the dressing so the delicate Yuzu flavor would come through.
