Raw Beet Salad Food

RAW BEET SALAD (SHREDDED OR SPIRALIZED)

Steps:

• Place the shredded beets, carrots, and parsley into a salad bowl.
• Slice the apple into small cubes. Place the diced apple into a small bowl and pour the lemon juice over it. Mix to make sure all the pieces are covered in lemon juice. Then add it to the beets.
• Add the pumpkin seeds, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss to combine. Season with salt if needed.

RAW BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the beets and the shallot. Combine them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and pulse carefully until the beets are shredded; do not puree. (Or grate the beets by hand and mince the shallots; combine.) Scrape into a bowl.
• Toss with the salt, pepper, mustard, oil and vinegar. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Toss in the herbs, and serve.

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.

RAW BEET SALAD WITH TOASTED SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Mix the shallots with the vinegars and let stand while you process the beets and toast the sunflower seeds.
• Peel the beets and grate them or process them in the food processor until they are of coarsely grated consistency.
• Toast the sunflower seeds (I stir them up quickly in a hot stainless steel pan and remove them from the pan as soon as they start to brown).
• Mix the rest of the dressing ingredients with the vinegar/shallot mixture and add half of this to the beets and chill until ready to assemble the salad.
• Mound the greens loosely in individual dishes, and divide the beet mixture amongst the plates.
• Dot with goat cheese, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and drizzle more of the dressing on the greens.
