- Whisk all the dressing ingredients together.
- I like to add them into a jar, close the lid tightly and give it a good shake.
PREPARATION OF THE SALAD:
- Mix carrot and beetroot together in a bowl.
- Add the dressing and toss.
- Cover the bowl with a tight lid or cling film and allow it to cool in the fridge till required.
- This allows the dressing falvour to infuse into the carrot and beetroot.
