I made beet coleslaw. No, really! And we liked it! Really!
I know, I know, raw beets in a coleslaw – it 
didn’t sound entirely, uh, well, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not, but I wanted to try something different with my beets, and I love to the point of crave raw veggies, so I figured it was worth the gamble. I wasn’t so sure that Fahim would like it, though.
Turns out he did. Shocker.
Beet Coleslaw
- 3/4 cup beets, shredded
- 3/4 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup onions, minced
- 1 green chilli, minced
- 1/2 cup coconut, freshly shredded
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Mix to combine.
Nothing complicated. If I’d had cabbage, I could have added that. Really, I could have added a lot of things. 🙂
The freshly shredded coconut, it could be argued, could bring this into the realm of a sambol, but hey, that’s just semantics. 😉
The end result was something a lot redder than should ever be found in nature, and we’ll both voluntarily eat it again. Even Fahim said so.
And happiness reigns once again in the land. 😀
This recipe brought to you by CAMC. 
It certainly was daring of you! Quite honestly, I’d be tempted AND afraid to try it at the same time! 🙂
I think tempted AND afraid pretty much sums up how I felt about it before I did it…
But honestly, it tasted good! It really is worth trying! Really! 🙂
Mayo-based beet slaw is very popular in Finland. I think it uses pickled (or at least cooked) beets, though. I’d probably like this one more, as I’m not so fond of mayo-based salads.
