"Love Yourself Up" Beet and Apple Slaw
2c raw beets, shredded (julienned)
2 c unpeeled apple, shredded (julienned)
1c daikon radish, shredded (julienned)
1c celery, finely diced
¼ c Italian parsley, chopped fine
Dressing:
2 T fresh lemon juice (about the juice of one lemon)
4 T fresh orange juice (about the juice of one navel orange)
1 t orange zest
4 T olive oil (or 2 T olive oil and 2 T flax oil)
2 T agave
2 T miso
1 clove garlic, pureed (I use a microplane for this)
1 t turmeric
¼ t sea salt
¼ t freshly ground back pepper
1/8 t cayenne
Beets, apples, and daikon can be grated in any way you like, although I like to use my mandoline to make perfect little match sticks of yumminess! Once the salad is dressed, it will pull juices from the ingredients, but not to worry, it will not become mushy, just more tasty as the flavors marry.
The miso can be omitted from the dressing, but it gives a certain amount of added creaminess, not to mention additional phytonutrients. The same is true of flax oil – additional omega-3’s, but no problem if you have only olive oil. If you are not used to the flavor of turmeric, you might want to cut the amount in half…..the same is true of cayenne. A tiny pinch might be enough. Always adjust to suit your own taste. My recipes reflect ingredients that are packed with anti-cancer properties.
Santé - to your health!
