Notes
This salad is packed full of the goodness of raw vegetables, high in antioxidants and fibre. If you don’t have a vegetable shredder, either grate the carrot, beetroot and cabbage, or use a vegetable peeler to peel thin ribbons. The cabbage can be shredded by cutting very finely with a sharp knife. Toss the salad with cooked vermicelli noodles to make it into a more substantial meal. You could make a big batch of this and leave it in the fridge to take a portion to work each day – just wait to add dressing right before you eat it. Make sure you get really fresh salmon for the sashimi – it’ll taste much nicer! You could also use cold smoked salmon you buy from the supermarket.
