Beetroot and Spinach Salad

Yields5 Servings

Ingredients for the salad

2 medium sized organic beetroot (raw)

80 g fresh young spinach leaves

8 fat radishes

2 x 150g packs of shelled edamame beans (you could use shelled broad beans lightly steamed)

bunch of winter savoury (which has a lovely peppery taste) but if you don't grow it watercress will be great here too

you could also add slivers of fresh fennel, steamed asparagus or snap peas

Ingredients for the dressing

3 - 4 tbsps quality olive oil

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp honey

generous pinch of quality salt (pink himalayan or malden salt would be good)

Peel the beetroots with a carrot peeler to remove the outer layer. Then peel the whole beetroot into slivers (its a bit messy so if you don't want pink fingers later then wearing gloves would be a good idea !).

Slice the radishes and rinse the fresh edamame beans and pat them dry.

Pop your vinegrette ingredients into a jam jar and give everything a good shake. Adjust the taste if you feel it needs a bit more of one thing or another.

Then just mix everything together in a bowl making sure the whole salad is coated well with dressing.

Note:- My Red Vinegrette (found in my Tasty Tips Section) is also yummy on this salad too if you are after something a bit more spicy.
