Can beetroot be eaten raw in salads?

The most common way to cook turnips is probably roasting them, but if you’ve never tried them raw, you’re missing out! Beets can be eaten raw in a salad if they are peeled and then shredded or grated. You can shred them in a food processor, use a mandolin, or grate them by hand. Warning – it’s messy, so do it near the sink. Golden turnips make less mess

How to make raw beet salad

I buy pre-shredded carrots and cut up the beets and apple with my mandolin, which is fitted with a 1/8 inch julienne blade. If you don’t have a mandolin, you can shred it with a box grater or use a food processor. Once your ingredients are prepped, toss everything in a bowl and mix.
