Tossing salad is my girls favourite task in the dinner table. Usually, i'll prepare all the cutting,washing,shredding and etc and they'll be happy to toss all the ingredients in a big bowl as high as possible and they get excited with their task. One of the salad that really makes them excited is this beet and carrot salad as they love the girlish pink color from the beet.
I love the crunchiness from the beets and sweetness from the carrots. The exotic flavor of balsamic vinegar and the heat from chilly and Dijon mustard creates the right balance of flavor to the salad. Do not skip the garlic in the salad as it gives a beautiful aroma and taste.
Ingredients
2 medium beetroots, washed,peeled and shredded
3 large carrots, washed, peeled and shredded
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green chilly,chopped
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Methods
In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar,Dijon mustard,olive oil,salt and grounded black pepper.
Add the chopped green chilly,minced garlic and stir.
Add the grated carrots and beets. Toss till all the ingredients well combined. Do the final tasting and adjust the seasoning according your preference.
Let the salad stands for 1/2 hour for it to render juices from the shredded beets and carrots.
Serve with grill meat or chicken
