Cabbage Carrot & Pear Salad

• This is a variation on my usual cabbage salad.
• Mayonnaise is not used just lemon juice as a dressing. 
• Rather than apples I used pears for this salad.
• Conference pears or other hard pears are good for this.
• The pears need to be ripe but not too “mushy”.
• I would peel the pears as the skins are often very tough.

Ingredients

• ½ head of white cabbage
• 3-4 hard pears
• 2 carrots
• Juice of 1 lemon
• *
• Chopped flat leafed parsley or chives to serve

Method

• Shred the cabbage into fine shreds.
• Peel the pears and then coarse grate them.
• Coarse grate the carrots.
• Mix them all together.
• Pour the lemon juice over them and mix.
• Sprinkle with flat leaved parsley or chives.
