Shred or julienne the following using a food processor, mandolin, or spiralizer:

• 3 carrots

• 2 beets

• 1/2 head purple cabbage

Whisk together these ingredients (double or triple the recipe if you like a lot of dressing):

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

• 1/2 to 1 tsp grated fresh garlic

• 1 tsp curry powder

• 2 Tbs Ume plum vinegar

• 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil

• 3 Tbs olive oil

• 2 Tbs maple syrup

Recipe Add-Ons/Extras:

• sesame seeds

• dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins

• pomegranates

• sturdy greens (i.e. kale)

• nuts, such as shelled pistachios, slivered almonds or sunflower seeds

• chopped chicken (omit for vegan)

• goat cheese (omit for vegan or strict Paleo)

Directions:

In a large bowl, simply toss the salad with the dressing and any extra additions. This salad is actually even better when it sits in the refrigerator a bit, so consider making it a day ahead of time if possible.
