After all, not least thanks to the Veggie wave find raw food dishes more and more supporters. The base salad is ready with salt and pepper, vinegar and oil. It is always varied with fruits and nuts.

In the kitchen, the fresh cabbage with its weight of up to two kilograms seems initially bulky. He does not really work that much. Washing is not necessary, it is enough to remove the outer leaves. For shredding a large knife with serrated edge is best. And once the head is halved, it lies stably on the cut surface and can be easily cut or planed into any fine stripes. It's even faster with the food processor.
