- Beetroot: Peel and grate the beetroot. You can use a grater or food processor to speed up the process.
- Carrots: Peel and grate the carrots.
- Cabbage: Thinly slice the cabbage into fine strips. You can use either red or green cabbage, or even a mix of both for some extra color.
2. Mix the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the grated beetroot, carrots, and sliced cabbage. Toss them together gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly mixed.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), honey (optional), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the taste by adding more vinegar or honey if you prefer a tangier or sweeter flavor.
4. Toss the Salad:
Pour the dressing over the beetroot, carrot, and cabbage mixture. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables well with the dressing.
5. Optional Garnishes:
For a burst of freshness, sprinkle the salad with fresh parsley or cilantro. If you want some extra crunch, add a handful of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or crushed walnuts.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest flavor, or let it sit in the fridge for an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. This versatile salad can be enjoyed as a healthy side dish or a light meal on its own.
