Beetroot Salad

Beetroot Salad (this photo shows one with a little more carrot, as my kids love carrot!)

This is a very quick and easy salad, especially if you have a Thermomix! You can make it in a food processor, but you may need to cut the veges in smaller pieces before processing or you'll crack the jug! (I know, I've done it in my pre-Thermomix days!) Recipe from Thermomix cookbook.

- 400g raw beetroot (peeled & quartered)
- 100g carrot, quartered
- 1/4 small red onion
- 1 green apple, quartered & deseeded
- 1 handful of fresh coriander/Italian parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp Rapadura
- pinch salt

Place roughly cut vegetables in Thermomix/food processor and chop on medium speed (sp. 5) until evenly chopped (2-3 seconds in Thermomix). Scrape down sides and chop again for a couple of seconds until desired consistency.

If you accidently process too much, or you have leftovers, add some raw cashews or almonds, process until finely ground, and use as a dip!

I sometimes make this with half carrot, half beetroot - it's a bit cheaper, and the kids like carrot more than beetroot! :)
