I bought some beets a couple of weeks ago at the farmers market and then promptly forgot about them. This morning, I was digging around in the fridge and found them! I whipped up this little on-the-fly salad/slaw with what I had around and it turned out great! The flavors are bright and earthy with a lemony ginger-sesame dressing. Even if you’re not a beet fan, you’ll probably like this salad as the beet flavor is very mild when paired with the dressing. If you don’t have beets, you can use all carrots in this recipe instead.
The Recipe
Serves 1 (or two small sides)
1 cup grated raw beet
1 cup grated raw carrot
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp brown rice vinegar
1 tsp ginger juice
3/4 low-sodium tamari
1/4 tsp sesame oil
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Let sit for a bit to marinate. Serve.

When it comes to the beets, I usually get 2 or 3 in my CSA box, and into the juicer they go. This recipe shows that with a little effort, I could be making a meal out of it… Thanks for sharing.
for someone who has never been a fan of beets, this looks good I’ll try it.
