How to make a delicious raw beet salad

1

Who said beets are boring? In fact, this bright vegetable can surprise you with its rich taste and freshness in its raw form. And if you choose the right ingredients, it will become a real highlight of any table. Raw beet salad is not only easy to make, but it’s also hard to forget, thanks to its vibrant combination of flavors and health benefits.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet
• 1 carrot
• 1 apple (preferably sour)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• A pinch of sesame seeds or chopped nuts (optional)

To make this salad, start by washing and peeling the beets, carrots, and apples. It’s important to slice or grate the beets thinly so they blend easily with the other ingredients and soak up the dressing better. Adding the apple provides a sweet-and-sour balance that pairs perfectly with the rich flavor of the beets. A little lemon juice will not only add a nice tartness to the salad, but also prevent the apple from browning.

It is important to remember that raw beet salad is best prepared just before serving to preserve the bright color and fresh taste of the vegetables. For the dressing, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper, mix thoroughly, and then pour the mixture over the salad. The olive oil in this dish helps absorb vitamin A from the carrots, which adds even more benefits. Add a pinch of sesame seeds or nuts for crunch and extra flavor.
