This is the perfect recipe for your veggie leftovers. This raw vegetable salad recipe that you could eat with a spoon is on my meal plan each week. I love the fact that it never gets boring as it never tastes the same. It is quick, easy and comes out almost like a surprise.
I never plan for the exact ingredients but the recipe depends on the vegetables left in my pantry. It is full of great flavors, colors, and textures, featuring raw vegetables of the season and a healthy dressing. This is also perfect for any holiday meal: you can let it stand and it stays crisp.

dressing
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil

Notes
- Variations: you could use most raw vegetable types although some work better than others. Highly recommended for this clean eating salad recipe are all “sturdier” vegetables. E.G those from the cabbage family (Chinese, red, napa, savoy cabbage) but also fennel, celery, cucumber, kale, red beets, (spring) onions, radishes, zucchini, bell peppers, and even the softer tomatoes work great.
- On weeks when my vegetable supply is almost depleted I even add an apple to this salad to add some volume. Especially celery is a wonderful addition.
