Apple and Raw Beet Slaw
By Kathleen Daelemans

In the middle of researching another recipe, I stumbled upon this version of my beet salad prepared by food lover and busy mom Sarah Bell on her website supperstarter.com. I just had to find out more...

Busy mom, Sarah Bell loves to cook, "but spending time with my two-year old son takes precedence now." As her priorities shifted, cooking became a chore rather than a pleasure. "I decided I did not want to compromise on the flavor or quality of meals to which our family had enjoyed." And she didn't want to give up spending time with her family around the table each night.

Sarah wasn't willing to rely on fast food or curbside takeout and made it her mission to find shortcuts and to help other moms too. "I started preparing meals that would result in leftovers on purpose because they're a great way to kick-start another meal (or two) later in the week."

"When I made meals that could be easily doubled and frozen, I took advantage of that free meal ticket. I had to re-teach myself to cook using shortcuts, taking advantage of commercially available products to jump-start home-cooked meals and Supper Starter was born.

Recipe: Apple and Raw Beet Slaw


Ingredients

1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 pound beets, peeled
1 large Granny Smith apple, or similar flavored and textured apple
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse grain salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

In a medium sized salad bowl, using your microplane grater (or the smallest holes of a cheese grater) grate fresh ginger directly into bowl, about one teaspoon.

Grate beets and apples, add them to the bowl with the ginger, and toss until ginger is evenly distributed.
Add sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper to bowl and toss to coat evenly.

Add olive oil, stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Serve immediately or keep refrigerated.
