Instructions
-
Begin your culinary journey by combining the julienned beetroot and carrots in a spacious salad bowl, creating a vibrant base for your salad.
-
Drizzle the tahini and a splash of extra virgin olive oil over the beet and carrot mixture, infusing it with rich flavors. Gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Next, prepare to elevate your salad with delightful toppings. Add the chopped dried figs and fresh basil leaves to the bowl, giving the salad a refreshing touch. Toss again to mix.
-
In a separate non-stick pan, toast the amaranth and sesame seeds over a low-medium flame. Stir gently to prevent burning, allowing them to achieve a golden hue. Once toasted, set them aside to cool.
-
The crucial step is to add the cooled amaranth to the salad mixture just before serving. This ensures they retain their delightful crunch, enhancing the overall texture of your salad.

Finally, taste your creation and adjust the salt and seasoning according to your preference.

Serve the Carrot Beet Amaranth Super Salad as a wholesome meal on its own, paired with warm toasted bread and a comforting soup for a delicious dinner experience.
