I made beet coleslaw. No, really! And we liked it! Really!
I know, I know, raw beets in a coleslaw – it 
didn’t sound entirely, uh, well, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not, but I wanted to try something different with my beets, and I love to the point of crave raw veggies, so I figured it was worth the gamble. I wasn’t so sure that Fahim would like it, though.
Turns out he did. Shocker.
Beet Coleslaw
- 3/4 cup beets, shredded
- 3/4 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup onions, minced
- 1 green chilli, minced
- 1/2 cup coconut, freshly shredded
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Mix to combine.
Nothing complicated. If I’d had cabbage, I could have added that. Really, I could have added a lot of things. 
The freshly shredded coconut, it could be argued, could bring this into the realm of a sambol, but hey, that’s just semantics. 
The end result was something a lot redder than should ever be found in nature, and we’ll both voluntarily eat it again. Even Fahim said so.
And happiness reigns once again in the land.

Howdy and welcome to my site! I'm Laurie and I'll be your, er, hostess today. :)
It certainly was daring of you! Quite honestly, I’d be tempted AND afraid to try it at the same time!
I think tempted AND afraid pretty much sums up how I felt about it before I did it…
But honestly, it tasted good! It really is worth trying! Really!
Mayo-based beet slaw is very popular in Finland. I think it uses pickled (or at least cooked) beets, though. I’d probably like this one more, as I’m not so fond of mayo-based salads.
