Carrot Beet Salad (The Plan)
Sarah Britton April 1, 2015From the Vitality Food Feature ‘A Tale of Two Cookbooks‘.
I’ve been eating a carrot beet salad since my early teens when I first started working at a hippie health food restaurant. The raw vegetables are pretty easy to digest and chock-full of lovely enzymes. This simple recipe, a standard in naturopathic medicine, aids liver cleansing and is reputed to be strongly anti-cancer. Adding lemon or lime juice and extra virgin olive oil further helps liver and gallbladder cleansing. (Makes 4 to 6 servings)
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots, coarsely grated
- 1 beet, peeled and coarsely grated
- Lime Agave Vinaigrette (see below) or lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1) Put all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.
2) Serve immediately.
