Beet, Carrot, and Ginger Salad
This carrot and beet ribbons salad is super colorful, and you will want the lovely ginger lime honey mustard salad dressing to go with all kinds of salad.
This recipe for beet, carrot, and ginger salad is my submission to the Healthy Cooking Challenge hosted by Facebook group Berbagi Resep Masakan. The theme is Masakan Serba Umbi-Umbian, which means the recipe needs to showcase tubers in a fun and healthy meal. Some of the tubers suggested by the host include: cassava, sweet potato, potato, taro, beet, carrot, and daikon.
I thought it would be exciting to pick a couple of ingredients from the suggested list and make a super healthy and yummy salad out of it. Beet and carrot seems to be two of the healthiest among the bunch, so I go with those as my main ingredients. To perk things up, I add shallot, raisin, grated ginger, and chopped lemon basil leaves. After sprinkle the salad with some salt and pepper, I make a super simple dressing by mixing olive oil, lime juice, honey, and mustard. The salad turns out to be super refreshing and so flavorful, and knowing that this packs a lot of vitamins and minerals doesn’t hurt one bit, right? ♥
