Notes
You can use any combination of veggies and fruits for this salad. You can use a combination of zucchini, carrots, yellow squash, purple cabbage, green apple etc.
For getting fresh ginger juice, I peel the fresh ginger root and place it in a garlic peeler and squeeze to get the juice out. You could also grate it using a fine zester.
