super duper salad!

This healthy plate was created because of my insane obsession with beetroot! I just absolutely adore the stuff, raw, pickled( i can easily eat a whole jar in one sitting!), roasted with balsamic and garlic, lush lush lush!! So during a " i need to lose a few pounds" stage this winter,one of many may i add,  i made this...its so yum and fresh and healthy and very filling! Enjoy! :-)


What you need.....Serves 4 as side dishes

1 whole raw beetroot
3 washed unpeeled carrots
1 large Red Delicious apple
handful of walnut halves
handful sultanas

Dijon Honey dressing.....

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons clear honey

To make it look nice....

Peel the skin from a cucumber in long strips, leave to soak in cold water for a little while and they will go nice and curly

How to make it...

In a nice big bowl grate all the vegetables and apple, chuck in the walnuts and sultanas, season and mix well.

In an empty clean jam jar put all the dressing ingredients and with the lid on(!) shake like mad!

Pour as much or as little as you wish over the salad and serve with cucmber shavings piled up high and all fancy....and scoff!
