Instructions
Beetroot and carrot salad with mint and apple instructions
- For this recipe I used a large beetroot harvested in my garden which means I used a raw beet root. If you don't have raw beets available, you can use those already cooked and skip the rinsing step.
- Using a mandolin with a blade that cuts into thin matches or a grater with a similar cut, cut the carrots and apple and place them in a large salad bowl. Cut the beetroot then rinse it under cold water 3-4 times to remove the excess red juice. Once rinsed add the beetroot to the carrots and the apple.
- Mix oil with salt and honey. Add the balsamic vinegar and mix again. Now add prepared sauce to the raw vegetables and also add chopped fresh mint leaves. Toss or stir to combine. Before serving, remove the excess juice created at the bottom of the salad bowl. Taste and adjust with more salt, oil or vinegar if necessary.
