SHAVED VEGETABLE SALAD…with goat cheese & toasted almonds

 

Hi, Semra here (Aylin’s Mom). This salad is beautiful and so simple. It has three basic components. First using the best fresh shaved vegetables to create these pretty ribbons, then a variety of other fresh ingredients to mix in and finally the simple but great tasting dressing. Once you get in the habit of making your own dressings the possibilities are endless. 

I hope you enjoy. Xx, Semra
