Background
Winter vegetables are perfect for healthy raw salads. I make this crunchy winter salad regularly, using up leftover root vegetables in my fridge and larder. Sometimes I add some chilli to it too, which is perfect with grilled kebabs in a wrap. If I have some beetroot or courgette I grate some of these into the salad too, and I end up withΒ a super-healthy salad. If you donβt have walnut oil, don't worry about it, just use olive oil instead! If you have some fresh herbs - parsley, basil, coriander, dill or chives - chop some up and scatter it over the salad just before serving!
