Shrimp and Daikon Salad with Ume-Shiso DressingDitte Isager

That distinctive quality of ume-shiso—the tart-and-salty combination of umeboshi (pickled plums) and green shiso, an exuberantly undefinable fresh herb—really enhances the juicy sweetness and char of grilled shrimp and the faintly radishy crunch of daikon.

Cooks' notes:

• •Daikon comes in many shapes and sizes; you may have to cut or quarter your piece to get slices about 5 by 1 inch. It can be soaked up to 3 hours.
• Shrimp can be cooked 30 minutes ahead and kept at room temperature.
• Dressing, without shiso leaves, can be made 3 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Stir in shiso leaves (and shrimp) just before serving.
