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

  2. 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:

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