For the salad

2 raw beetroot, peeled and finely grated
1/4 raw red cabbage with its core cut out, very finely sliced
1 very small red onion, peeled, cut in half from top to bottom and finely sliced (to mellow its bite, soak in cold water while you make the rest of the salad, then drain)
6 healthy dollops of crème fraîche
2 healthy bunches of chervil, picked

For the dressing

Healthy splashes of extra virgin olive oil
A little gesture of balsamic vinegar
A small handful of extra-fine capers
Sea salt and black pepper
