Carrot & Beetroot Salad

Super healthy and delicious, I love this Carrot & Beetroot salad. It’s one I make often to have with a green salad and usually just a drizzle of good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Look out for good organic carrots and local beetroot. It’s great for Summer but also any time of the year when you can get good carrots and beetroot.

Servings: 4- 6

What you’ll need

Ideally a food processor to grate or a good box grater.

Notes – Carrot & Beetroot Salad

This Carrot & Beetroot salad keeps well (undressed) for a few days in the fridge.

It is also delicious with a Tahini Dressing or a French stlye vinaigrette made with Dijon mustard, Wine vinegar and olive oil.

It’s great for a BBQ or served on the side for any gathering.
