Hands up who's a fan of raw beetroot! I'm unsurprised if not many hands are waving in the air right now. Mine wouldn't have been, until I came across this amazing salad from Ripe (awesome deli in from back home with an outstanding cook book). Beat back your scepticism and try it once - the flavours and textures (chewy raisins, toasted nuts, raw vege crunch) will have you coming back for more.
Ripe's Raw Energy Salad
- 500g beetroot (peeled and grated)
- 700g carrot (peeled and grated)
- 1 C fresh mint leaves chopped
- ½ C raisins
- ¼ C sunflower seeds (toasted)
- ¼ C pumpkin seeds (toasted)
- ½ t salt
Dressing
- 2 T pomegranate molasses
- 2 T balsamic vinegar
- ¼ C orange juice
- ¼ C olive oil
- 1 T honey
Dressing: Place all ingredients in a jar, put lid back on and shake well to mix.
Salad: Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then pour over the dressing and toss
Yes, it's really that simple! I had mine with a sprinkling of feta cheese on top and next time I'll have fish. And I had plenty left over for lunch.
