Grated Raw Beet Salad
Grated raw beet salad is my favorite way to enjoy this root vegetable without cooking. This bright and refreshing side salad pairs well with fish, poultry, and eggs - ready in about 15 minutes.
Equipment
- 1 vegetable peeler
- 1 Box grater
Ingredients
- 1 large beet
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
Instructions
- Peel the beet and carrots using a vegetable peeler. Rinse the vegetables well and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Using a grater box, grate the carrots and the beet in to a large bowl. Add there chopped cilantro.
- Pour half of the dressing over the salad and mix it well. Taste the salad and add the remaining dressing (if you think it needs more) and some extra salt as needed.
- Transfer the salad into the clean salad bowl. You can chill it in the fridge or serve it right away.
Notes
Depending on your taste, half the amount of dressing may be enough. That's why I recommend adding half of it, and the remaining after you taste it.
If the rim of the salad bowl get stained with red, you can carefully wipe it with a paper towel.
