This recipe is all about the crunch! Thanks to the red cabbage and beetroot, it makes a striking addition to a buffet and tastes good too!

Method:

  • Make the dressing: place the lemon juice, olive oil, creamed horseradish, thyme leaves and sugar in a jar. Top with a lid and shake well to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Mix the salad ingredients together in a large serving bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss through. Serve.
