Red cabbage, zucchini, carrot and freekeh salad

Cook the freekeh as per packet instructions. Cool. Combine all the salad ingredients. Using a mandolin is good here for shredding. Use a potato peeler for carrot ribbons. Combine salad ingredients with the freekeh. Combine the dressing ingredients and mix well through the salad. Can be added before transporting to allow flavours to develop.
