Serves 4-6

  • ½ medium red cabbage, finely sliced or shredded
  • 500g cooked beetroot (without vinegar)
  • 1 dessert apple, cored and finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider, sherry or red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp chopped dill
  • Handful of pumpkin seeds to serve

Method:

  1. Put the red cabbage into a bowl. Scrape the skin off the beetroot.
  2. Cut the beetroot into fine matchsticks or shred through a food processor.
  3. Add to the cabbage with the apple and red onion.
  4. Put the oil, vinegar and a splash of water into a bowl, season with black pepper and whisk together. Pour it over the salad and add a scatter over of pumpkin seeds to serve.
