Raw Beetroot & Arame Salad

For such a pretty looking salad, I thought the taste was a little disappointing.  Not that it wasn’t enjoyable, but I was expecting the flavours to explode in my mouth, and it was more like … well, … a *pop*.  Still, it’s something different, so worth a try.  You never know, you may just love raw beetroot!

Raw Beetroot & Arame Salad

Serves 4-6 as a side dish.

Ingredients:

Salad:

• 10g Arame
• 1 Lebanese Cucumber (finely diced)
• ½ tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
• ½ Red Onion (finely diced)
• ½ Red Capsicum (finely diced)
• 1 Medium Beetroot – grated

Dressing:

• 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Almond Oil (can use olive oil or other nut oil instead)
• Pepper – just a sprinkle

Method:

Soak arame in enough water to cover it for 5-10 mins or until soft. Discard the soaking water & chop roughly. Sprinkle the salt on the diced cucumber and let sit for 5-10 mins. Dice or grate the other ingredients and place in a bowl, add arame, cucumber & the mixed dressing and toss the salad thoroughly.
