Notes

We use store-bought kale slaw from the salads section of Woolworths for this recipe.  During the busy week it’s a huge time saver.  If you’d prefer to make your own kale slaw, finely chop 4 kale leaves, grate 2 carrots, thinly slice 1 stick of celery, grate 1 cooked beetroot and toss to combine.
