CARROT & BEETROOT SALAD

As you can see from most of the other entries in this blog, I’m no health freak!

Yet, I do like to add good healthy meals in amongst the desserts, and this is one of them. A simple, ‘made in minutes’ lunch that leaves me feeling righteous. I usually add whatever is lying around – today it was finely sliced pear and chopped walnuts – yum.

The dressing is also so good, you could just about drink it. This recipe is based on one from New Zealand’s Revive Cafe.
