I mixed together the veggies I like and tried to incorporate lots of colors (remember: eat the rainbow). I also used an air lock lid. Any extra that won't fit in the jar to leave room for expansion can be eaten as a fresh salad.
Ingredients
  • 1 head organic cabbage
  • 2 organic red beets
  • 4 organic carrots
  • ⅛ cup red onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup organic red cabbage
  • ½ cup red kale, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. Celtic sea salt
  • 1 packet cultured vegetable starter
  • Filtered water
Instructions
  1. Open cultured vegetable starter and mix with 1 cup filtered water. Set aside.
  2. Shred all vegetables a food processor, and place in large mixing bowl. Toss gently until well mixed.
  3. Sprinkle with salt and mix well.
  4. Place mixture in gallon jar.
  5. Pour in cultured vegetable starter.
  6. Fill with filtered water, leaving 2-3 inches empty at the top of the jar to allow for expansion.
  7. Gently make sure all veggies are under the water.
  8. Cover with an air lock lid.
  9. Set in a cool place out of sunlight for 6-7 days.
  10. Remove air lock lid and replace with regular lid and refrigerate. (i place in smaller jars first)
  11. This mixture will last at least 9 months in the refrigerator.
