Raw rainbow salad
for 4 people
If you don’t have a vegetable shredder, either grate the carrot, beetroot and cabbage, or use a vegetable peeler to peel thin ribbons. The cabbage can be shredded by cutting very finely with a sharp knife. Toss the salad with cooked vermicelli noodles to make it into a meal.
