What you will find on my blog...

I've created this blog as a means of sharing my stories and the recipes I have learned, use and love with all who may be interested. I am passionate about encouraging and helping people to create delicious, quick and easy food for the table during our busy mid-week lives.

It is not about being the best cook or being an expert or making everything from scratch, it is about sharing what I know and learning from others. After all, I've learned just about everything I know from someone else!

I love to feed people, it makes me happy and it makes them happy too. (although let's not discuss my children and food!)

I will also include information about specials and events happening at Recipe for Life, which encompasses my Saladmaster and Domestic Goddess Essentials business.

Enjoy!

Carrot and Beetroot Salad



Zesty and delicious, this salad is great served with char grilled lamb backstrap.  Perfect dish to make for a quick midweek catch up lunch with girls or guys. Try it you'll love it.


2 medium sized beetroot, peeled
2 Carrots
4 Radishes
Juice of ½ an orange
Juice of lemon
¾ cup roughly chopped coriander
½ cup mint leaves
1 – 2 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil
Dukkah

Grate root vegetables using Saladmaster machine and Cutter #1 or traditional grater.  If you prefer a courser texture try cutter number 2 for the carrots and beetroot instead.

Juice orange and lemon.  If using Saladmaster, cut fruit into quarters and simply run over the blade to juice.

Add fresh herbs

Dress with extra virgin olive oil and toss salad to combine dressing and ingredients.

Top with Dukkah* to serve.

Optional:    add toasted hazelnuts, freshly ground black pepper and salt if desired.


*Dukkah is a blend of aromatic spices and roasted hazelnuts.  It is available from good delicatessens. My favourite is Malouf’s Spice Mezza – Classic Egyptian Dukkah

If you have any questions or have trouble locating ingredients please drop me a line and Iwill do my best to help you out.
