Spiralized Beet Salad
Ingredients:
3-4 beets uncooked, use raw (use a variety of red and golden) peeled and spiralized
1 cup cucumbers, diced (prefer Persian cucumbers)
1-15 oz can chickpeas (or 1 ½ cups cooked)
1 cup tomatoes, diced
½ cup red onion, chopped
1 orange, juiced
1 tbl white balsamic vinegar
1 tsp date paste
1 tsp mustard
½ cup parsley, chopped
Chef Note: Beets really vary in size, the amount of beets is estimated and you can adjust
Directions:
• Clean and peel beets. Working with the thin blade, spiralize the beets.
Cut the spirals into 3-4inch lengths, this will make the strands easier for eating.
Place the spiralized beets in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine cucumbers, chickpeas, tomatoes, onions, parsley.
• Make dressing: combining juice from one orange, add vinegar, date paste, mustard whisk well.
Pour dressing over vegetables.
• On a serving platter lay bed of spiralized beets to cover entire platter, place the dressed vegetables
over the beets and serve.
Other options:
• Add your favorite greens to this salad, chopped arugula, or kale.
• Spiralize carrots and mix with the beets.
