This beetroot salad with apple and carrot<\/strong> is fresh, crisp, and easy to make. A simple raw salad that requires only a few ingredients yet tastes incredibly flavorful. Perfect as a side dish, for a bread-and-dips evening, or as a light meal on warm days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My husband and I visited the beautiful Chania in Crete last year. We ate at the restaurant Tamtam <\/em>multiple times (an absolute heartfelt recommendation!). There was one dish we ordered every single time: a vegan carrot salad with beetroot, apple, raisins, and walnuts. So simple, so fresh, so good. I made a firm promise to myself to recreate this delicious salad at home. And now, with the first warm rays of sunshine bringing back the craving for raw salads, I immediately thought of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is my version: a fresh and easy oil-free beetroot salad, sweetened with apple and raisins and crunchy carrot \u2014 and instead of walnuts, I have added my savory crunchy topping<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n This crisp, colorful carrot and beetroot salad doesn't take long to make. If you have a food processor with a grating attachment<\/strong>, you'll be done in no time. Otherwise, a standard box grater works just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, prepare the crunchy topping<\/a> if you'd like to use it \u2014 it takes about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can store the raw salad and the topping separately in the fridge for several days,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip<\/strong>: If you'd prefer to use walnuts, briefly toast them dry in a pan until they smell fragrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I'm not a big fan of handling beetroot \u2014 because the color gets everywhere once you start cutting it, if you're not careful. A food processor with a vegetable grater attachment is a simple solution for keeping the kitchen clean. If you're using a regular box grater, consider wearing gloves.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can clean chopping boards<\/strong> well with lemon juice and salt: simply sprinkle salt over the board and rub a lemon half across it. Leave it for a moment, then rinse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This no-oil raw vegan salad pairs perfectly with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The raw salad keeps for up to 4 days in the fridge. Store the topping separately to keep it crispy.<\/p> <\/div> No, this recipe uses raw beetroot.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you could. Just keep in mind: With cooked beetroot, the salad will be softer and probably a little sweeter in flavor.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Beetroot isn't just great in salads \u2014 try these wonderful recipes too:<\/p>\n\n\n I hope you give my beetroot salad recipe with apple and carrot a try!
