Beet and Carrot Salad

Beet and Carrot Salad

I love beets and carrots. Although very different in flavor they both add a sweet earthy quality to food. This is a really simple dish and I think a great side for almost any  meal. No cooking required, either. What could be easier than that?

Beet and Carrot Salad

1 large- or 2 medium- beets

2 large carrots

4 T. olive oil

4 T. cider vinegar

2 T. honey, or to taste

1 t. fresh dill weed or about 1/2 t. dried

dash of hot sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Peel beets and shred or grate them using a hand grater or food processor. Place in a mixing bowl and set aside. Peel and shred the carrots and add to the beets. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the beet mixture. Stir to coat and chill until ready to serve. Makes about 3 cups.
