About this recipe

Beetroot and carrot are best friends in a salad bowl! They know how to connect to offer a sweet taste that works perfectly with even more sweetness (raisins, cranberries, honey, red onions) and the acidity of the vinegar, lime and lemon to balance it out! When in season, I also like to add grated granny smith to add a bit of a tart flavor- my favorite! This salad goes very well with fish, chicken or rice for the vegetarian.

Directions

1. Peel the carrots and beetroot and grate.

2. Grate the cabbage.

3. Finely slice the onion.

5. Grate 1 lime zest.

6. Fry/ dry without oil the seeds on a low heat.

7. Add the dry seeds last when serving to the table.
