"There has to be lobster," agreed Bob and Barbara when planning the menu. And what a delicious way to savour it: in a fragrant, light dressing with an Asian heritage. To julienne daikon (large Asian radish), cut peeled daikon crosswise into very thin slices, then into matchstick-size strips.

- 1/4 tsp pepper
