Raw Vegetable Salad

This is another Moosewood recipe. It is truly a beautiful salad. It only takes a very small amount to fill you up. Because of the preparation method I would say 1/4 cup of the salad would be one serving of vegetables.

Most vegetables can be eaten raw if cut properly. In this salad, everythign is mince dvery small or grated, so chewing is light and delightful and not a cumbersome chore. Visually Raw Vegetable Salad can be beautiful, like edible confetti. Serve in glass bowls to maximize the aesthetic impact.

Use whatever is in season, and in any proportion. Sprouts, tomatoes, and/or mushroom slices can be used as toppings. Try pairing this salad with the Very Green Dressing.

carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage (green and red), bell peppers (all colors), zucchini or summer squash, spinach, beets, cucumber, green beans, sugr snap or snow peas, red onion, scallions, radishes, fresh herbs.

Peel wherever necessary; mince or grate everything and mix well.
