Instructions

  1. Peel the rutabaga and carrots, then grate them on the coarse side of a box grater or with a mandoline.
  2. Finely slice the red onion and add it to the grated vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well with a wooden spoon.
  5. Let it rest for 15 minutes in the fridge so the rutabaga absorbs the dressing, then adjust the seasoning and sprinkle with dill before serving.

Variations and tips

Milder version. Add a grated apple to add freshness and soften the bitterness of the rutabaga.
