Beetroot Coleslaw

Serves 4 -6

This salad brightens up any meal.   Salting the cabbage makes it soft – easy to chew and easy to digest.

½ small cabbage (about 300g)
1 tsp sea salt
250g beetroot
2 spring onions, sliced fine

Dressing:

1 small orange or mandarin, skin removed
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil

  1. Use the slicing attachment of a food processor to slice the cabbage fine.   Remove into a large bowl.  Rub sea salt into the sliced cabbage with your hands, until moisture appears.  Leave to stand at room temperature for at least 30 – 40 minutes.
  2. Use the grating attachment of the food processor to grate the beetroot.  Add to the cabbage.
  3. Combine dressing ingredients in a small blender until smooth.
  4. Combine dressing, cabbage, sliced spring onions and beetroot.  Mix well.
