Grated Carrot And Raw Beet Salad Recipes

BEET AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• To make the salad, combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. To make the dressing, place all the dressing ingredients in a jar. Seal the lid and shake until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until well coated. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

RAW BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Combine beets, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, garlic, mustard, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

GRATED CARROT AND (RAW) BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Trim, peel, and grate the carrots and beets. (If you own a food processor with a grater attachment, yay for you!)
• Place the rest of the main ingredients, from garlic to black pepper, in a large salad bowl, add the grated carrots and beets, and toss until well combined.
• Add any desired add-ins and toss again.
• Taste, adjust the seasoning, and let stand for 30 minutes, if you can, before serving: the beets and carrots will render juices that will make the salad moister.
• If you don't have that kind of time and the salad does not feel quite moist enough, add a dash of citrus juice, tomato juice, or any sort of juice that may currently reside in the refrigerator door.

MOROCCAN GRATED CARROT AND BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the grated beets, combine with carrots and raisins: Place the grated carrots in a medium sized serving bowl. Place the grated beets into a sieve and briefly rinse with cold water. This will rinse away a little of the excess beet juice that may otherwise color the whole salad beet red. Pat dry with a paper towel. Then add to the bowl with the carrots. Add the raisins. Stir to gently combine.
• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne. Then add the lemon juice and honey and whisk until smooth.
• Dress the carrots and beets, let sit for an hour: Drizzle over the the carrots and beets, then gently fold until the carrots and beets are lightly coated. Let sit for an hour before serving, either chilled or at room temperature, for the dressing to seep into the carrots and beets.
• Stir in sliced mint before serving: Right before serving, stir in a couple tablespoons of sliced fresh mint leaves. Garnish with fresh mint.
