Beetroot and Blackberry Salad with Tahini Dressing

Yuliana Reed

Report

This beetroot salad uses the entire beetroot: root, stems and leaves. The earthy beetroot and sweet apple pairs beautifully with the creamy lemon and tahini dressing, which brightens up the flavours. Vegan and gluten free.

Instructions

Cut the beetroots away from the stems and wash the roots, stems and leaves well. Cut off any long root tails, then without peeling, grate the beetroot into a large bowl.
Wash and grate the unpeeled apple into the bowl. Slice the purple beet stems, chop the green beet leaves and them, along with the spring onions, to the bowl. Toss gently and set aside.
In a frying pan, dry toast the walnuts over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not dark. Set aside.
To make the dressing, mix all ingredients in a blender or shake in a jar until well combined.
To serve, pile the salad on plates, top with the blackberries or raspberries and toasted walnuts, then drizzle with the dressing.
