Christmas Slaw

This wonderful slaw uses crunchy veggies, nuts and fresh herbs to create a side worthy of any Christmas dinner table.

• It’s important to slice the veggies thinly, especially the beetroot.
• This slaw is also a great excuse to use up any leftover veggies you have in the kitchen. Grated cabbage, red or white, will work really well, as well as thinly sliced celeriac. Sometimes we also add apple slices!
