The simple recipe (no unhealthy ingredients)

You will need:

For the salad:

• 1 medium beetroot, peeled and grated
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 2 cups of finely shredded cabbage (green or red)
• Optional: a handful of fresh parsley or mint

For the dressing:

• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
• A pinch of sea salt

How to make it:

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

1. Grate the beetroot and carrot using a coarse grater. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 3: Assemble the salad
