The beetroots that I planted this time last year are still providing me with plenty of leaves and veg but I need to make space for this year’s planting so I’m eating a lot of them at the moment*.  I also have a massive amount of carrots at the moment so this coleslaw was thrown together to tackle the bounty.  Beetroot has a really earthy flavour so it can take other strong ingredients being thrown at it so the dressing has a big kick.

Ingredients:

• 1 large beetroot, peeled and V-Sliced into matchsticks
• 6 carrots, prepared as above.
• 1 finely sliced red onion
• poppy seeds (blue and white)

Dressing:

• 1 heaped tablespoon hot english mustard
• 1 tablespoon Ikea Dill sauce
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• sea salt flakes and freshly ground pepper

Make your dressing, pour it over the rest of the ingredients, mix and eat, simples.

*Eating beetroot can give you a bit of a fright when you go to the loo, your poo is purple! Don’t panic, it literally  scares the crap out of me every time!
