This salad may only have a handful of ingredients, but it’s packed full of flavor. The ginger and lime are the perfectly bright complement to the earthy beets. It’s wonderful with a Simple Roast Chicken.
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: None Makes: 4 servings
6 small beets, about ½ pound (230 g) or 1 bunch, peeled
1 medium green apple
2 teaspoons (4 g) grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons (45 ml) lime juice
3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Grate the beets and apple with the coarse side of a box grater or with the grater attachment of your food processor.
In a large bowl, combine the beet and apple with remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Bubbe’s tip: This salad packs the most punch when it’s first made. If you want to make it ahead, keep the dressing separate and mix together shortly before serving.
