Carrot, Beetroot and Sprout Salad

This salad  also works well with the addition of seaweed.  Try some soaked Karengo or arame, mixed through or served on top.  Using a food processor to grate the vegetables will help make a big salad very quickly.

Salad

3 medium carrots

1 large beetroot

½  bean sprouts

Lettuce or a mixture of leafy greens - perhaps some edible wild herbs!

Parsley dressing

 
Grate the carrot, then beetroot.   If you have one available, use the fine attachment of a food processor.

Mix the carrot and beetroot.

Wash and drain the greens.  Tear or chop the larger leaves.

Arrange a bed of greens on a platter. Place carrot and beetroot on top, then sprouts.

Drizzle with the dressing.

Parsley Dressing

½ cup parsley

1/4  cup sunflower seeds, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed (or 3 T tahini)

1 - 2 clove garlic

½ cup olive oil

Juice of one lemon or 2 T cider vinegar

½ cup water

Pinch cayenne pepper

½ tsp sea salt

Combine in a blend until smooth.
