Ingredients:
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 apples
3 medium beet, peeled
2 inch ginger root
2 -3 Japanese turnips
2 large carrots
Directions: *The dressing (below) makes enough to use for the slaw and more – so use carefully when dressing the Ruby Slaw and save the rest.
1. In a food processor or hand grater, stating with the apples, grate the ingredients listed. After grating, place in a bowl.
2. With your hands mix the ingredients to blend well.
3. Toss with the dressing and gently fold. The salad will taste best vibrantly fresh, yet it will last in the refrigerator for at least 3 days.
