We eat raw vegetable salad several times a week: it’s easy to make, it’s easy to take it out for lunch outside, it saves us gas, we can make lots of variations on it and it’s so good you can’t get enough of it!
Here we share the basic recipe with you: grated carrots, red cabbage and peanut sauce, as well as lots of ideas for variations (although the list is far from exhaustive!). By the way, if you make variations, don’t hesitate to share your ideas with us as a comment!
Usually, we make a complete meal out of it (with a bit of bread, a chapati on the side or some quinoa in it), or we accompany it with a slice of hummus or something else, or we integrate it in our sandwiches or burgers.
