Some vegetables in their raw state aren’t so appealing. This crunchy Beetroot and Red Cabbage Salad is more than a coleslaw. Made with French mustard, lemon and zingy horseradish, you’ll have the perfect tasty side-dish. It’s best paired with a protein such as chicken. If you don’t like your cabbage too crunchy, simply dress the salad a few hours ahead of time.
Serves: 8-10
Time: 20 minutes

- 2 cloves garlic crushed

- 2 – 3 tablespoons castor sugar
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
