Shredded Beet Salad #SundaySupper

When you think about making a salad, I’m pretty sure beets don’t come to mind. So when I saw this recipe in Simply in Season, I had no idea if it would turn out or not. There are several recipes like that in this cookbook, and so far I’ve been pleasantly surprised.There are a few variation of this salad in the cookbook, but this one is the simplest:

Simple Shredded Beet Salad

1 cup carrots, shredded
1 cup beets (cooked, peeled, and shredded)
4 Tbs parsley, chopped
splash vinegar
splash oil

Directions: Toss together vegetables, sprinkle with oil and vinegar.

The verdict: Surprisingly tasty. The earthiness of the beets is offset by the sweetness of the carrots, and the parsley is a nice chaser. Would make a great main dish salad with the addition of some chopped hard boiled eggs. The best part? Carrots, beets, and parsley are all included in Jonny Bowden’s The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why
