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 !

Really getting into the raw foods this summer and doing lots of experimenting. Here's one that we found delectable - juicy, colorful and looked very different. How to:  2 small beetroot - grated  1 large carrot - grated 1 apple - grated 1/4 shredded cabbage  raisins sunflower seeds parsley pumpkin seeds  Mix all the ingredients together and dress with dash of Sesame Oil , olive oil and Balsamic Vinegar 

How to  Make  Layer zucchini sliced in long thin slices using a Mandolin slicer or similar tool. If you don't have one, get one here:  ( Benriner Japanese Mandoline Slicer )   Cover with a layer of tomatoes, the ones above were left over from last nights pizza or raw  fine but saucy tomatoes feels more like a traditional Lasagne  Lettuce layer  Mashed up avocado, seasoning, sprinkle on some basil or thyme  Repeat the layers as many times as you wish and finish off with bright green lettuce, more tomatoes and top with sunflower seeds (dry roasting them first in a pan and add tamari is extra special) We have used some finely sliced cheddar cheese on the top but Feta is great too.   Enjoy !
