Celery and prawn (or not) salad with sesame & ginger dressing

This is lovely without the prawns.

Method

4 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp caster sugar

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

Juice of half a lime

Pinch of salt

2 red chillis, seeds removed and finely sliced

10cm piece of daikon/mooli, finely sliced, or a handful of sliced radishes or kohlrabi
