Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 2 medium beets peeled
- 2 small carrots or 1 medium/large
- 1 apple cored
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- Fine sea salt and pepper to taste
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by placing the ingredients in a small bowl and stirring until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Shred the beets, carrots and apple in a food processor (use the grating disc).
- Transfer to a large bowl (without the juice that may have collected in your food processor bowl), add the sliced onion, chopped parsley and pour over the dressing.
- Stir thoroughly, season to taste, scatter over the sunflower seeds and refrigerate your beet slaw for 30 minutes before serving (if possible).
Notes
- I recommend preparing the ingredients just before assembling the salad (so they are fresh and crunchy).
- I do not recommend grating the vegetables by hand. Use a food processor for a super crunchy.
- Use a sweet, rather than sour apple variety.
- Make it vegan by using maple syrup or agave syrup instead of honey.
- Parsley can be replaced by dill or chives (or use a combination of herbs).
- Pumpkin seeds make a good substitute for sunflower seeds.
- Transfer the shredded beets, carrots and apple from the food processor into a bowl without the juice (which may have collected in the food processor).
- Best served chilled within 2 hours. Refrigerate your beet slaw for 30 minutes before serving, if possible.
- Serve with fish, chicken or turkey, sandwiches, wraps, burgers or potato patties.
- Not suitable for freezing.
