Raw Beet Apple Salad with Macadamia Nuts & Mint
This is the most delicious salad you ever tasted - if you like beets that is. That said, it is simple to make but a little messy. But, so worth it!!
Ingredients:
1 raw beet - washed and scrubbed
1 or 2 raw apples (depends on the size of the beet. I like lots of apple, so it is usually two to 1.
a small handful of raw macadamia nuts
a few fresh sprigs of fresh mint
Get out the grater. Now, this is important. It is vital to the taste of this salad to grate it on the very smallest grate. It takes a little work, but it is what makes it juicy. It is all about the juicy………the apple actually turns to apple sauce. This is also the best way to grate carrots too. When you make them juicy they are so much more tasty.
Grind the macadamia nuts (or sesame seeds) into a powder. I use my Vita Mix. Easy.
Mix the beets and apple, and top with macadamia powder and chopped mint. OMG, this is so good.
