Shaved Beet & Carrot Salad
The perfect side salad for Autumn and Winter when root vegetables are in abundance.
Serves4
This salad boasts vibrant colors for a gorgeous summer spread, but is also perfect for fall and winter when root vegetables are in abundance. Since both beets and carrots can be rather tough raw, slice the beets and carrots as thinly as possible (using either a mandoline or your hands) to create a delicious crunch.
