Beet and Chickpea Salad
Ingredients
2 beets peeled
1 cup chickpeas cooked or canned
2 tablespoons peanuts (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
Serving
Makes 4 servings.
Time
10 minutes
Directions
  1. Peel or just scrub the beets, removing the stems if necessary. Shred the beets with a box grater.
     
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. Add the shredded beets to the bowl along with the chickpeas and nuts (optional).
     
  3. Mix the ingredients to combine. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the flavors can soak into the vegetables and the beet juices can mingle with the dressing.

    *This salad does not keep well, so be sure to eat it the same day that it is prepared.
