How to make Raw Beet and Carrot Salad:
We gather all the ingredients to prepare the raw beet and carrot salad. Peel the carrot and cut it into slices, as indicated in the image.
The carrot is a highly recommended vegetable to boost the skin’s defenses due to the large amount of beta-carotene it contains.
On the other hand, we cut the cooked beet into pieces a little larger than the carrot. Beetroot is high in antioxidants, iron and folic acid. In addition, it has a lot of fiber. Place the raw carrot and beetroot on a plate or salad bowl and set aside. You will see what a colorful salad you will have! Peel the garlic and fillet it, as seen in the image. The garlic will add a delicious flavor to this vegan salad.
We have used raw garlic, but if you want you can sauté it in the pan with a little olive oil. We prepare vinaigrette for the raw beet and carrot salad: mix the garlic with the olive oil, a little salt, a splash of lemon juice, ground black pepper and sesame.
If you are daring and you like intense flavors, you can also add a little grated fresh ginger. Season the raw beet and carrot salad with the dressing and it’s ready to serve!
