Raw Beets and Cabbage Salad

Pretty simple yet pretty festive and colorful raw cabbage salad with red beets, greens and a bit of onion dressed with mayo (all though you can go for a sunflower or olive oil for healthier option).

Raw cabbage is packed with vitamins, especially vitamins K and C, but also B6 and folate. And beets high in folate and manganese. A good combination for the winter.

It is also quite filling. So a good choice if you are trying to get some fiber in.

Ingredients:

Half of medium size white cabbage head
1 raw red beet
Half of onion
Small bunch of dill
Small bunch of parsley
Salt to taste
Mayo to taste

How to prepare, step-by-step:

Prepare ingredients:
Raw Beets and Cabbage Salad 1
Remove stem part from the cabbage and shred it (I used mandeline on thinnest setting, second to thinnest will work as well, but you can also do a decent job slicing by hand with a knife), put cabbage to a bowl:

Salt to taste, mix a bit and squeeze it with hands, to soften it up and get some juice out:
