One of the most delicious ways to use the freshly picked PEACE farm vegetables on a warm early summers day is in a salad and this is my current favorite recipe. I can sneak in some Japanese turnips too which I sometimes find hard to use. The colours are so vibrant and the taste is sweet and refreshing. I make mine in my thermomix which is as easy as putting in all the ingredients and chopping on speed 5 for about 5 secs. If you don't have a thermi the very easy alternate method is below.
Ingredients
2-3 beetroots, peeled
1 large or 2 medium carrots
1-2 jap turnips or radish
1 small red onion
A small lemon
Handful of mint leaves
Sesame seeds to garnish
Olive oil
Method
Grate the beets, carrots and japanese turnips into a salad bowl. Dice the onion and add. Finely chop the mint and add. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Mix well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds garnish.
