Ingredients:
| ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice | 2 tablespoon raw pepita seeds | 3 raw beets, peeled and finely shredded |
| ¼ cup fresh dill | 2 garlic cloves | 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely shredded |
| ¼ cup fresh parsley | ¼ teaspoon sea salt | |
| 1.5 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil | 1 cup cooked chickpeas |
Directions
- Using your food processor or blender, combine your lemon juice, dill, parsley, olive oil, seeds, garlic and salt. Pulse until you reach a smoother consistency, but not completely smooth – some chunks are okay!
- Next, add in your chickpeas and pulse a few times – you want to break them up into small chunks, not pulverize them.
- In a large bowl, mix together your beets and carrots. Slowly top with your salad dressing. Mix thoroughly.
- Serve in a bowl with a lemon wedge or topped with some lemon zest!
Make It This Way
If you are short for time, instead of shredding the beets and carrots, you could always cut them up into bite sized pieces – either way, the salad will still have the same great taste.
Make this dish even more colourful by using red and golden beets.
