Get your pecker all puckered with something spicy yet salivating.

Make this:

  • When you want a quick and easy summer dish to put together that looks the biz
  • When you’ve just got back from work and it’s blistering outside and only a salad will tick the box
  • When you’ve got a last minute party organised and want something that looks visual and is super tasty tasty, yet effortless

This spicy raw cabbage salad is a favourite of mine and in colour and taste lifts all the surrounding dishes.

Make sure you plan the walnut activation. Keep them in a sealed glass jar until ready to use, at any time.

This dish is vegan, paleo and raw.

What equipment to use

For this recipe, I suggest:

Dehydrator
