Beets me

So, I am a beet lover.  I didn't know that until a couple of years ago when we joined a CSA at Jericho Settlers Farm. I love them roasted, I love them hot, I love them cold, I love them raw.   So, with a dinner invitation in a few hours and no time to go to the store, I see what's left from the farm.  In the words of my very  fancy four year old- Voila!

Raw Beet, Carrot and Ginger Salad

Ingredients

5 small beets 

2 carrots 

1/2 lemon juiced

1- 1 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root

4 TBSP olive oil

1 TBSP raw honey

salt & pepper to taste

Peel and shred the beets and carrots.  (I used a food processor, but a hand grater or mandolin would work as well).  Place in a medium bowl.  In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, ginger, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Combine, cover & chill.
