Grated Beet & Spring Green Salad
∙ eat the rainbow ∙
A fabulous raw “eat the rainbow” salad loaded with fresh greens, herbs and grated beet, or as we call it in Australia, beetroot!
A great salad to help lighten your eating habits giving your digestion and detoxification systems some time out from processing heavy foods, fats, proteins and food chemicals ~ perfect early spring salad for when you are transitioning between seasons and reflecting on what you are eating; consider serving with a warming dressing or vinaigrette to aid your digestion.
Raw foods are energetically colder and can be harder to digest for some people. To support your digestion, you can add warming dressings, spices and fresh herbs. Spices like ginger, cumin, paprika, chilli, turmeric, black pepper, mustard, allspice, clove, anise are all warming. Herbs like mint, parsley, dill, basil, fennel, cilantro, sage, rosemary, and thyme can aid digestion and nutrient absorption.
