This fresh & fabulous recipe came with my VegBox this week – along with the requisite ingredients of course! I tried it out last night and it was a real winner.

  • 1-2 raw beetroots, peeled & coarsley grated
  • 2 carrots, peeled and coarsley grated
  • 1 oragne
  • 1tsp honey
  • 1/2 garlic clove, crushed with salt to a paste
  • 1tsp sesame seed, toasted
  • 2tsp olive oil
  • fresh coriander (optional)
  • mix the beetroot and carrot together in a large bowl
  • zest and juice the orange, and mix with sesame seeds, honey, olive oil, garlic and coriander
  • season the dressing with salt & pepper to taste and mix with the beetroot & carrot to serve

They list the coriander as optional and I put it in, but wouldn’t next time; the salad is so full of flavour that you can’t even taste it.

I used the food processor grater, just to make it even faster and easier.
