A tasty and versatile recipe that needs no cooking. Use whichever veg (and fruit) you have to hand. The more different colours, the more different vitamins you will be including, and the more your gut biome will thank you! A mandolin helps here but a sharp knife will do.
Roots: kohlrabi, beetroot, turnip, carrot, celeriac, radish, china rose radish, daikon/mooli - grated or cut into matchstick-sized pieces
Cabbage: white, red, savoy, January King, cavolo nero - finely sliced
Fruit (optional): apple or pear - sliced
