    Purchase this book from the GRIT store: Back to Butter.

    We tire quickly of carrot and celery sticks, don’t we? This raw salad is a wonderful and convenient solution. Before you begin, though, know that small, consistent dicing adds to the allure of this dish. And if you can find unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, buy it! Don’t fear the pasteurization omission, which allows the “culture” (probiotics) to grow. Probiotics found in organic and raw foods help give the digestive system a much-needed boost.
