Barely a week goes by when I don’t make a batch of this salad – I love having it on hand for quick lunches and dinners. Unlike most salads, this one actually improves with age! As the vinegar works its magic the vegetables begin to pickle, yet still maintain their crunch. I always make it at least 24 hours prior to serving, and then continue eating the leftovers for the next couple of days. It lends itself well to almost all cuisines, adding freshness to Mexican tacos, southern barbecues, burgers, Vietnamese noodles and Korean beef. This recipe makes a huge amount, but this is a good thing for this reason! If you’ve got a food processor now is the time to get it out; otherwise a mandolin slicer or julienne peeler will do the trick.
