The sweetest thing about this salad is the way it balances any sweet foods you may .. ahem.. be eating at this time of year.  The bitterness of the radish along with the sour pomegranate seeds and sour umeboshi plum vinegar offset the sweets.  And it’s a treat for the eyes, to boot.

Mix. Let sit for 10-15 minutes so the radish pieces become ever-so-slightly pickled. This will help you digest the sweets.
