Beet and Carrot Salad

Beet and Carrot Salad

Within an hour of finding this recipe for Beet Red Salad at Gourmet Green Giraffe, I was in the kitchen using up the lone beet I've been meaning to do something with. Though it's summer where Johanna is, and it's winter here, this salad is perfect for any time of year. Include some finely chopped green onions if desired. Thank you Johanna for this easy and tasty recipe that I have modified only slightly.

What a gorgeous colour as usual with beets! I bet the mustard gave it a really nice bite of flavour!

Holler:

The mustard was a perfect addition, just like it is in my Caesar salad.

TBC: An Indianised version! You say you have it drafted. Does that mean you have posted it in the past or is it coming soon? Do enlighten me!
