So I went out and bought Daikon at the farmers market this past weekend but not sure how to cook it. I know it' s meant for salads but what other ways can it be used? Any tips would be appreciated.

I love diakon. I grate it and put on brown rice or in a burrito. I use it in everything...Miso soup, stir fry, tabbouleh, braised (in TKD) and raw with hummus. I try to eat some everyday.
How do you use in Miso soup Kim? Do you put chunks in or grate it ? Is it best raw or cooked?
Thanks for responding.

I love it raw and cooked. In Miso I cut in little chunks and boil it in water with other veggies that I have on hand (carrots, mushrooms, kale) and wakame. Then add the miso at the end after I turn down the temp and it stops boiling of course. It is my favorite thing in Miso soup.
I seriously try to put it on or in everything.
I'd always eaten daikon raw, usually grated in salads or cut up like a red radish. But then I tried the sauteed version from TKD, and I LOVE it. It's my new fave thing to try sauteeing with it again soon. My water never boiled out, so I just drained it. Sauteed it in a skillet with Bragg's liquid aminos and some spices and a little vinegar, I think. It was so yummy. I ate it cold for a few days after that as a side dish with other veggies.
Enjoy!
