Cabbage salad with beets, apples and horseradish is a bold-flavored raw salad made with finely grated vegetables and seasoned with lemon juice. Clean and trim the cabbage, beets, carrots and apples, then grate or chop them as finely as possible. Add horseradish to taste, and if you like a tangier salad, feel free to add more lemon juice. Serve the salad as a side dish or as a light dinner with whole-grain bread.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Clean and trim the vegetables, then grate or chop them as finely as possible. Add the lemon juice and horseradish to taste; you do not need to use the full amounts. For a tangier flavor, add more lemon juice.
Serve the salad in place of a side dish with a main course, or as dinner with whole-grain bread.

Tip: Wear disposable gloves when grating raw beets and use a plastic cutting board, as they would stain a wooden one. Grate fresh horseradish near an open window, as it can make your eyes sting intensely.
