Blushing Beets Salad

Tasty living salad,  so colorful it was a feast before we even started to eat it and it tasted as good as it looked  Grated raw beets, red cabbage, carrot, some white cabbage and raisins but add your faves and a dressing - I used sesame oil and cider vinegar for this one and sprinkle seeds over like sunflower and toasted sesame seeds are great with it too.  I recommend a Mandoline vegetable shredder to quickly and evenly slice the veggies and get a plastic one with a V-Blade rather than an expensive stainless steel one and please use the handguard if you don't want some of your fingers added to the dish - then it wouldn't be truly vegetarian !
