Raw Beet Salad


This raw salad is very good for your liver as it promotes bile production.  If you feel your digestion is slow, raw beets can help to increase Agni (digestive fire).  If you have difficulty digesting raw food, you can steam the grated beets for 3 minutes. You can also add fennel or mint to aid digestion. This salad is especially beneficial if you have difficulty digesting fats. 

 

Makes:  4 Servings


Ingredients:

1 medium or large beet, grated

1 apple, sliced thin (optional)

1 medium carrot, grated

1 tsp jaggery

½ lemon, just the juice

1 tsp nutritional yeast 

Dijon mustard to taste (about 1 tbsp for a large beet, optional)

fresh ginger, finely grated

salt to taste 


Directions:

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir to evenly coat. Enjoy a portion of this salad with each meal. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
