FAQ:
Q: Can I use red cabbage instead of green cabbage?
A: Absolutely! Red cabbage will add an even deeper color and slightly different flavor, making the salad even more vibrant.
Q: Is it necessary to peel the beets?
A: Peeling is recommended to avoid any bitterness and to achieve a smoother texture, but if the beets are organic and well-washed, you can leave the skin on.
Q: How long can this salad be stored?
A: It’s best eaten within 2 days of preparation for freshness and crunchiness. After that, the vegetables may soften and release moisture.
Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the vegetables and dressing separately and combine them just before serving to maintain maximum freshness.
