Beet and Carrot Salad with Coriander and Sesame Salt

This vibrant beetroot and carrot salad is a refreshing vegan dish that celebrates earthy root vegetables and bright, citrusy flavours. The combination of sweet carrots and deep red beetroot is elevated by a zesty orange and miso dressing, which provides a sophisticated savoury note. Topped with a homemade toasted sesame salt and freshly ground coriander, this salad offers a satisfying crunch and a complex spice profile that works beautifully with the raw, crisp vegetables.

Ideal for a light lunch or as a colourful side dish for a dinner party, this healthy salad is best prepared slightly in advance to allow the dressing to soften the vegetables. It is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients, making it a brilliant choice for those looking for a wholesome yet delicious seasonal recipe. Serve it alongside grilled mains or as part of a plant-based spread.
