RAW BEET SALAD
This is a beet recipe for someone who is skeptical of their earthy, rooty flavor. Uncooked beets are less sweet and earthy than they are when boiled or roasted. This is a messy affair, so peel and grate them near the sink.

- Peel and trim the carrots and beetroot, then coarsely grate both on a grater – wear rubber gloves if you don’t want pink hands! Alternatively, use a food processor fitted with a grating plate. Place the grated vegetables in a bowl, add the shallots.

RAW BEET SALAD
I was looking for a way to use raw beets and found a recipe online. I changed it a bit to use ingredients that I grow and use. It's so yummy and is so nutritious because the nutrition isn't cooked out of the beets. Everyone that has tried it, likes it. It's better if let set for a few hours but doesn't have to be. Serve for a cold lunch with boiled eggs on a bed of lettuce.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and have a deep, rich color. Avoid beets that are soft or have blemishes.
- Prepare the beets properly: To prepare the beets, scrub them well under cold water. Then, trim the tops and roots. You can either grate the beets or slice them into thin strips.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavor of the beets. Too much dressing will overpower the other ingredients.
- Serve the salad immediately: Beetroot salad is best served fresh. The longer it sits, the more the beets will bleed into the other ingredients and the salad will lose its vibrant color.
Conclusion:
Raw beetroot salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The earthy flavor of the beets pairs well with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the crunch of the cucumbers. This salad is also very versatile. You can add other ingredients, such as feta cheese, nuts, or seeds, to customize it to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give raw beetroot salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
