Beets and other root vegetables are delicious raw, if you prepare the properly, and make an important source of calories if you're following a raw food diet.
- 1 cup beet, peeled and grated
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 2 orange, zested, 1 peeled and chopped, 1 juiced
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated and juiced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- pinch sea salt
Put the beets, carrots and broccoli in a salad bowl.
Zest the oranges into a jar or bowl for the dressing. Peel and chop one of the oranges, and add it to the salad. Squeeze the juice from the other orange into the jar/bowl. Grate the ginger and squeeze the juice from the pulp into the jar/bowl as well. Add the olive oil and salt, and shake or whisk to combine.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss, then leave it to marinate for 30 minutes, or up to a couple of hours.
